Qualcomm’s big win over Arm could reverberate throughout the industry — ALA licensees could potentially develop custom designs without renegotiating terms
This week, Qualcomm secured a final legal win against Arm in a high-profile licensing dispute around CPU cores developed by Nuvia, which Qualcomm acquired in 2021. A U.S. District Court has now rejected all of Arm’s claims, affirming Qualcomm’s right to use Nuvia’s technology under its architecture license agreement (ALA). Without any doubt, this is…
Arm Unveils Lumex Compute Subsystem For Powerful, Efficient On-Device AI
As the smartphone market has matured, the workloads that consumers expect from their tiny in-pocket mobile computers has increased drastically. Fortunately, chip designers continue to build faster processors that do perform well with varied workloads, without completely tanking battery life. Tonight, Arm introduced its Lumex Compute Subsystem (CSS) platform, which drives big improvements in not…
Nvidia’s Arm chips rapidly gain share in server market as AI booms — Nvidia’s Arm-powered GB200 servers surge as market reaches a record $95 billion in the first quarter
The global server market experienced an unprecedented surge to nearly $100 billion in the first quarter as companies heavily invested in AI-related infrastructure, according to IDC, and ‘accelerated’ servers running Arm-based processors comprise one of the most rapidly growing categories, with Arm-powered server shipments rising 70% this year.

Microsoft Build 2025: Arm (and AI, of course) thrive
Last week was a biggie for those of you into tech conferences. First and foremost, of course, there was the 2025 iteration of the Silicon Valley-located Embedded Vision Summit, for which I have both personal interest and professional association. In parallel (and in Taiwan), a “little” computer conference called Computex was going on. And from…
Arm Unveils Powerful New Cores And Compute Subsystems For Next-Gen AI Workloads
Arm Holdings plc, or “arm”, was once considered a vendor of processors designed for embedded and low-power systems, but those days are well past at this point. Having conquered mobile some time ago, processors based on Arm’s Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) are now challenging the supremacy of the long-dominant x86-64 architecture on every…

2024 was a big year for Windows on Arm
I still can’t quite believe that I’m using an Arm-powered Windows laptop every day. After more than a decade of trying to make Windows on Arm a reality, Microsoft and Qualcomm finally nailed it this year with Copilot Plus PCs. These new laptops have excellent battery life and great performance — and the app compatibility…
