ARM
ARM is a British semiconductor design company that develops and licenses computer architecture and intellectual property rights. ARM was founded in 1990 by Adam Reeves and Steve Ward, headquartered in Cambridge, England.We are developing 32-bit and 64-bit RISC processor architectures. ARM processors are used in a variety of products, including smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, and embedded systems, because of their power efficiency, size, and low cost.
It is one of the most widely used processor architectures in the world. As of 2023, ARM processors are used in more than 200 billion devices worldwide.
