Sir Robin Saxby, former Arm CEO, shares reflections on AI, geopolitics, and the semiconductor industry in retirement.

IEEE roadmap research finds multi-die assemblies and heterogeneous integration are becoming standard at 2nm and below, driven by AI compute demands outpacing transistor scaling.

Nvidia's $5B investment in Intel stock grows to $30B; SEC filing also reveals a $21B SpaceX stake and full exit from Arm holdings.
Licensable processor IP spanning the application-class Cortex-A (smartphones, servers, infotainment), real-time Cortex-R, and microcontroller-class Cortex-M lines. Cortex-A designs power nearly every smartphone and increasingly data-center and AI-host CPUs, while Cortex-M dominates embedded and IoT. Customers integrate these cores into their own SoCs and pay Arm license and per-chip royalty fees, the foundation of Arm's business.
Neoverse is Arm's server- and infrastructure-class CPU IP behind custom data-center chips such as AWS Graviton, Microsoft Cobalt, Google Axion, and Nvidia Grace. Compute Subsystems (CSS) deliver pre-integrated, validated multi-core configurations that shorten time-to-silicon for partners. Together they anchor Arm's push into hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure, moving Arm up the value chain from cores to subsystems.
Graphics and compute GPU IP for mobile and embedded SoCs, with the flagship Immortalis line adding hardware ray tracing for premium smartphones. Mali GPUs handle gaming, UI rendering, and on-device ML acceleration across a vast installed base of devices. As licensable IP, they complement Arm's CPU cores to give partners a full mobile compute platform.
The instruction-set architecture that licensees build chips around, with Armv9 adding Scalable Vector Extension 2 (SVE2) for AI/ML and DSP workloads plus enhanced security features like the Confidential Compute Architecture. The architecture license is Arm's highest tier, letting partners design custom cores. Armv9 underpins the company's roadmap across mobile, automotive, and data-center silicon.
