Arm Holdings announced new chip blueprints and software tools on Wednesday to help smartphones handle artificial intelligence tasks, while also changing the way these blueprints are delivered to accelerate their adoption.
Arm's technology has driven the rise of smartphones and is increasingly appearing in personal computers and data centers, attracting chip designers to its energy-saving technology.
Smartphones remain Arm's largest single market, providing intellectual property to major competitors such as Apple, Android chip suppliers Qualcomm, and MediaTek.
Wednesday, Arm has launched a new central processing unit (CPU) design, which is said to be more suitable for artificial intelligence work and new graphics processing units (GPUs). It will also provide software tools to make it easier for developers to run chatbots and other artificial intelligence code on Arm chips.
But the bigger change lies in the way these products are sold. In the past, Arm mainly provides technology in the form of specifications or abstract designs, and then chip companies need to convert it into the physical blueprint of the chip - a significant task when deciding how to arrange billions of transistors (the tiny switches that make up the chip).
For new products, Arm collaborated with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and TSMC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to provide a physical design blueprint for manufacturing.
Chris Bergey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Customer Business at Arm, stated that, Arm did not attempt to compete with the client. On the contrary, it attempts to help them enter the market faster while focusing on other increasingly important parts of personal computer and mobile phone chips, such as neural processing units (NPUs) that provide the best artificial intelligence performance.
This part of the chip has become so important that Microsoft has stated that without it, its latest artificial intelligence features will not work. Arm currently does not provide NPU technology for smartphones and personal computers, but the company's goal is to provide more ready-made designs that chip companies can connect their NPUs to.
Bergey said, "We are integrating a platform so that various components can be tightly coupled together."
