Arm supplies processor architecture and semiconductor design technology. Its computing platforms and development ecosystem serve smartphones, data centers, vehicles and other devices.
History and development
Arm was established in 1990 as a venture involving Acorn, Apple and VLSI. The architecture itself dates to 1985, so the company's formation and the technology's beginning are separate. Licensing processor designs distinguishes its business from manufacturing and selling finished chips.
