The Rise of ARM Chips: A Game Changer in the Semiconductor Industry
Since its official establishment in 1990, ARM has continuously made breakthroughs in the field of 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer CPU) development, evolving its architecture from V3 to V7. As ARM has always sold intellectual property (IP) to major semiconductor manufacturers without engaging in chip production and sales itself, and due to the significant advantages of its core designs, such as low power consumption and low cost, it has gained strong support from numerous semiconductor manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). ARM has achieved tremendous success in the 32-bit embedded application field, capturing over 75% of the market for 32-bit RISC embedded products, establishing a market leadership position in low-power, low-cost embedded applications. More than 50 international companies design
