Last year, SoftBank acquired ARM for $32.2 billion, marking a significant move in the global chip design landscape. The secrecy surrounding this deal made its announcement feel like a bombshell, sending shockwaves throughout the industry. Behind this acquisition, Sun Zheng, who leads the deal, has shown immense enthusiasm and a vision for the Internet of Things (IoT).
ARM dominates the smartphone chip architecture market, continuously developing semiconductor intellectual property (IP) and licensing it to companies like Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek. These partners then use the licensed IP to create chips. Data shows that ARM-based application processors are found in over 85% of smart mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, with 50% of smartphones using the ARMv8 architecture, often referred to as the "heart of mobile phones." It’s no exaggeration to say so.
ARM's independence is one of its key strengths. Back in 2010, Apple attempted to buy ARM but was turned down by the CEO, Warren East, who believed ARM was more valuable as an independent entity. This decision raised eyebrows when ARM was sold to SoftBank, sparking concerns within the industry.
Despite its dominance in the mobile internet era, ARM faces stiff competition. Companies like Qualcomm are formidable rivals. Additionally, as we look towards the future of IoT and artificial intelligence, ARM must compete against established players like Intel and NVIDIA, as well as emerging startups. This is why ARM continually emphasizes its independence, aiming to unite all possible resources.
So, how does ARM plan to conquer the global IoT market? Here are three strategies:
Firstly, ARM has introduced a range of IoT-focused products, including the Cortex-R52 processor based on the new ARMv8-R architecture, making it easier for partners to design and produce IoT devices.
Secondly, ARM has expanded its ARM mbed IoT Device Platform, adding mbed Cloud to provide enhanced security features and upgrades, helping users manage IoT devices effectively.
Thirdly, ARM is exploring acquisition opportunities in new IoT technologies to stay ahead of the curve.
At the same time, ARM isn't just focusing on hardware; it's venturing into practical software solutions for engineers. It’s clear that the next big opportunity lies in IoT. This time, ARM and ST are leading the charge into the IoT world. Why not unleash your creativity and build your own smart product?
