Happy 25th Birthday, ARM-November 24, 2015 |
This week is ARM's 25th anniversary. It is actually on Friday, the 27th, but since that is the Friday after Thanksgiving I figured publishing this blog on the precise day was probably less important than picking a day that people might actually see it.
ARM is the leading microprocessor vendor in the world, by unit shipments. In 2014 ARM announced that they had shipped over 50 billion processors, it must be a lot more by now. Without exception, every mobile phone contains an ARM® processor, probably several if you look inside the Bluetooth and WiFi chips, and there are around 1.5B phones shipped each year. Most tablets are ARM-powered too.
