Arm Holdings
The architecture powering the world's AI devices
About Arm Holdings
Arm Holdings designs the instruction set architecture (ISA) and processor IP that powers over 99% of the world's smartphones and an expanding share of cloud and AI workloads. Rather than manufacturing chips, Arm licenses its designs to companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Amazon, earning royalties on every chip shipped.
Arm's energy-efficient architectures are increasingly important for AI inference at the edge and in data centers. Amazon's Graviton processors, Nvidia's Grace CPU, and Apple's M-series chips all use Arm-based designs, demonstrating the architecture's versatility across AI workloads from mobile to hyperscale cloud.
Following its 2023 IPO after SoftBank's ownership period, Arm has positioned itself as a critical enabler of the AI era, with its Armv9 architecture incorporating dedicated AI and security features that make it the foundation for next-generation computing across every form factor.
