A planned takeover deal by Nvidia, announced in 2020, collapsed as of February 2022, with SoftBank subsequently announcing that Arm planned to raise US$8 billion through an IPO on the NASDAQ in 2023, rather than the LSE. The transaction was completed on 5 September 2016. However Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group made an agreed offer for Arm on 18 July 2016, subject to approval by Arm's shareholders, valuing the company at £24.3 billion.

It also had a secondary listing on NASDAQ. While competing in GPUs, Qualcomm, Samsung and Nvidia all have combined their GPUs with Arm-licensed CPUs.Īrm had a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and was a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Arm's main GPU competitors include mobile GPUs from American and Japanese technology companies Imagination Technologies ( PowerVR), Qualcomm ( Adreno), and increasingly Nvidia, AMD, Samsung and Intel. Intel competed with ARM-based chips in mobile, but Arm no longer has any competition in that space (however, vendors of actual ARM-based chips compete within that space). Īrm's main CPU competitors in servers include IBM, Intel and AMD.

Arm has two lines of graphics processing units (GPUs), Mali, and the newer Immortalis (which includes hardware-based ray-tracing). Processors based on designs licensed from Arm, or designed by licensees of one of the ARM instruction set architectures, are used in all classes of computing devices. While ARM CPUs first appeared in the Acorn Archimedes, a desktop computer, today's systems include mostly embedded systems, including ARM CPUs used in virtually all modern smartphones. Since 2016, it has been owned by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group. As a 'holding' company, it also holds shares of other companies.

It also designs other chips, provides software development tools under the DS-5, RealView and Keil brands, and provides systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip (SoC) infrastructure and software. Its primary business is in the design of ARM processors (CPUs). Arm is a British semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England.
