Rare quarterly report ARM Holding dispenses with statistics on the rate of expansion of a particular processor architecture. The last quarterly report, ARMv8-A architecture was discussed at the reporting conference most actively. Holding Management recognizes that it is the processors used in the first quarter, about 65% of new smartphones on the market with ARMv8-A architecture. If we talk about processor with eight cores, they plucked up about a quarter. Finally, Mali schedule is already registered in 50% of the smartphone, and this proportion could rise to 60% up to the end of the year.
In total in the first quarter this year, ARM partners, was released 280 ml Processors with ARMv8-A architecture. This is more than two times higher than a year earlier. By the end of the year to 80-85% of the smartphone will use processors with ARMv8 architecture, and capitation transition to this platform may not need more than two years. The number of cores continues to grow, eight-core processors with ARM architecture gaining popularity. As the cheapening of production, due to the transition to the new lithographic technology, the number of cores of the processor will continue to grow in the entry-level smartphones. In the coming years, processors with more cores (not clearly outlined criteria) will take up 50-60% of the smartphone market, as the head of ARM Holding said.
Last year, ARM increased its headcount by 20%, and although the new state was roughly proportional distributed by activity, some of the new specialists took up the development of server solutions. ARM calls the beginning of the expansion of its own architecture in the server segment in terms of development of 7-nm technology. This is not the last factor, but it is not decisive. ARM's management believes that the company achieves good progress in the corporate segment. Related Products :
