ARM has re-invented itself as a systems company

ARM says it is now a systems company.

By Richard Wilson - Electronics Weekly, Dec. 17, 2015 – 

Low-powered processor developer, ARM has been steadily building a broader range of silicon IP and the software that runs on it.

Jim Wallace, director of system and software, ARM told Electronics Weekly, that the company has reached a point where it can be called a systems company and "no longer only a supplier of CPU cores".

Wallace said that low power processors are at the heart of all that ARM does but he said that the company has created a range of products and services which he said has turned ARM into a true systems company.

The firm's silicon now includes non-CPU functions. There are the Mali graphics processor cores and the Cordio low-power radio IP.
