Arm IP provides the high performance needed for complex and compute-intensive digital immersion workloads, while balancing efficiency and long battery life on devices with new innovative form factors and designs.
Support ML Advances
Demands for ML performance increase each year, improving popular real-world applications and use cases, such as social media filters, translation and face unlock. Arm IP enables ML use-cases at endpoint rather than the cloud, providing key privacy and security benefits.
Smartphone Innovation Changing Lives
Today’s smartphone acts as a hub for everything we do – health and fitness, banking, shopping, entertainment, and more. Arm has always been at the center of this innovation, with more than 95 percent of the world’s smartphones built on our IP. Arm pushes the boundaries of performance, while ensuring optimal power and energy efficiency, and enabling new form factors. The Arm architecture supports new and improved experiences made possible through the high speeds, reduced latency and high bandwidth of 5G. These include more advanced digital immersion, such as XR, gaming, and AI.
Laptops More Like Smartphones
The lines between compute devices are blurring. Consumers now expect their laptop devices to be ‘always-on, always-connected’ just like their smartphones. The latest premium laptop devices have built-in modems for constant connectivity, and extended battery life of 20 to 30 hours. Arm builds solutions for laptops that enable LTE features, and help prepare for the next wave of 5G connectivity for true productivity on the go.
Powering Next-Gen AR/VR Experiences
The ongoing AR and VR explosion demonstrates the power and potential of immersion experiences and is leading to a whole new wave of digital immersion on our devices. Arm technology powers next-gen AR/VR-capable devices, from new wearable devices to new AR and VR experiences on smartphones.
AI on Mobile Devices
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform all computing applications, touching most industries, technology sectors, and markets, including smartphones and laptops. For years, the smart in smartphone has been based on Arm technology, and now Arm-based AI provides the essential IP, best-in-class tools, algorithms and applications needed to deploy the next-generation of intelligent devices. For endpoint AI, Arm high-performant IP enables the processing of AI and ML workloads on devices rather than the cloud, easing privacy and security concerns for users.
