ARM Holdings
ARMVerifiedARM Holdings plc, majority owned by SoftBank Group since 2016, is a British semiconductor and software design company that designs CPU cores implementing the ARM architecture family of instruction sets, other chips including GPU lines (Mali and Immortalis with hardware ray-tracing), software tools (e.g., DS-5, RealView, Keil), SoC infrastructure, systems, and platforms. As a licensor, holding company with shares in other firms, and IP provider in the semiconductor supply chain, it enables fabless design firms and IDMs to integrate its technologies into chips for mobile, embedded, server (competing with IBM and Intel), and other computing devices, without manufacturing itself. Its power-efficient designs dominate mobile SoCs and expand into datacenters via partnerships including NVIDIA and AWS.
