     Chip developers produced over 1,300 new chip designs with ARM Physical IP in 2007. Physical IP is used to construct the processor core and surrounding functional blocks. ARM provides silicon-proven IP for CMOS and SOI processes with its Artisan® family of products. The product portfolio includes an extensive set of EDA views with the widest available foundry and process choices. ARM Services provide many ways to get technical assistance for ARM design work, either directly from ARM or from one of our qualified service partners. Over 10 billion ARM processors have been shipped by our partners. The market overviews below and listings of select ARM Powered devices in the following segments show their practical application:
At least 90 ARM processors are shipped every second – more than any other 32-bit processor IP supplier. ARM licenses its technology to more than 200 world-leading semiconductor companies. ARM and its Partners provide a range of graphics, audio and video solutions that enable multimedia applications on a wide range of current and upcoming consumer, wireless, automotive and enterprise devices. Nokia 500 Navigation  Nokia has introduced its first personal navigation device, which runs Windows CE 5.0. The Nokia 500 features an 400MHz ARM9 processor, touchscreen, GPS, Bluetooth, music and video playback, an integrated FM transmitter, and hands-free calling features.
Every day thousands of developers leverage ARM® tools to design complex "system-on-chip" (SoC) solutions, develop software and embedded solutions, and build ARM Powered® devices. With over 200 processor licensees, 2,500 individual company users of ARM physical IP and 50,000 users of ARM development tools, ARM has highly adaptable business models with a range of entry points for all potential customers. The ARM Connected Community is the broadest coalition of partner companies and most comprehensive ecosystem in the industry. The members include EDA vendors that provide flows to enable ARM IP within semiconductor foundry processes, software OS and IC design tools vendors that provide extended functionality, and downstream partners such as game developers and electronics distributors that are helping create the demand for ARM Powered products. IQ magazine illustrates the smart approach to designing with the ARM architecture.
