During 2013 alone, ARM licensees have released 10 billion chips using the same name cores . In the entire history of ARM company , licenses for popular architecture company began to issue in 1991, the market delivered 50 billion different chips. As you can see, the bulk of the products went in recent years due to the demand for mobile phones, smartphones and tablets. ARM company in not in hurry to share details about these or other licensees.
Let's start with a rough division of ARM cores on the main sectors. As can be seen from the diagram above, the lion's share of products using ARM cores have to the mobile sector. It is not only computing cores, but also the core for modems and controllers. Following are embedded solutions and a little less corporate. This is not necessarily SoC, which time for the server segment is just beginning, and, for example, controllers for hard drives and solid state and more. Least of all ARM cores falls on home solutions presented TV consoles and some straightforward electronics.
Another interesting point was the information about the relationship of supply decisions on major core ARM. Easy to see that two-thirds of all the cores - it's old core ARM7 and ARM9. Architecture ARM11, on which came first smartphones Apple, more noticeable mark left on the market for home electronics devices, whereas in niche mobile devices proved much better architecture Cortex-A. Architecture Cortex-M - solution for microcontrollers and industrial automation - the best way to mark the embedded market and in corporate devices. Separately in corporate decisions noticeable surge of interest to the core Cortex-R, the potential of which is revealed in the active network equipment (routers and access points) and storage systems (RAID-controllers).
Finally, we see a more detailed timetable for the delivery of various core data. Delivery solutions for ARM7 and ARM9 cores stopped growing after 2011. They were replaced by more specialized and modern core Cortex-M and Cortex-R, with the first marked the most impressive growth rates in the history of ARM. Related Products :
