在芯片的新纪元中，Arm CEO Rene Ha recently unveiled his ambitious vision for AI applications, envisioning a future where all AI applications run on Arm chips. This strategic shift signifies that the company, hailed as the "mobile chip king," is moving from its successful "Windows on Arm" strategy to an even more expansive "AI on Arm" approach.
To accelerate its AI endeavors, Arm has established an AI chip department and strengthened partnerships with other companies. As reported in early 2024, the new department received investment support from SoftBank and aims to reach mass production by 2025. When questioned about these plans, Dermot O'Driscoll, Vice President of Product Solutions at Arm, neither confirmed nor denied them.
During a recent technology conference held in Shenzhen and marking the end of a five-city tour across Asia Pacific region, industry analysts noted that as Arm enters the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), its internal architecture is undergoing significant changes.
As a leading provider of computing platforms, Arm has traditionally prioritized communication and collaboration with downstream fabless semiconductor companies like Qualcomm, Apple and MediaTek. However, given the rapid growth in demand for AI services within mobile platforms, Arm seeks to leverage its technological solutions to achieve a successful transition into this new realm.
In recent years, the company has increasingly focused on developer engagement while forging direct partnerships with various terminal manufacturers through strategic collaborations beyond traditional semiconductor industry boundaries. The impact of these efforts extends far beyond what was previously thought possible within their sector.
According to James McNiven VP Product Management at ARM: “Artificial Intelligence will be one of the most important technologies in this age” - he emphasized that making it accessible in more areas would require synchronized development across hardware software & ecosystems.
The goal is not only to create hardware suited for artificial intelligence but also software compatible with our times so as not hinder progress.
By showcasing such developments like Arv9 Architecture & Kleidi they aim at accelerating ecosystem's development.
McNiven added: From personal devices up-to data centers - eventually becoming core components; aiming their products could become foundation for running softwares during this time period.
It's well known after establishing itself as leader in smartphone chips market; now focusing on PC server automotive markets while stirring up 'Windows On ARM' trend
Currently over 3000 billion units have been shipped out using Architected Chips by ARM
Now building upon this foundation - seeking greater integration between ARMs devices supporting A.I capabilities
The company sets out another goal: By 2025 wanting support A.I functions enabled via ARMs devices reaching nearly one trillion units
