30 new licences were signed.
“As the world becomes more digital and more connected, we continue to see an increase in the demand for ARM’s smart and energy-efficient technology, which is driving both our licensing and royalty revenues,” says Simon Segars, ARM’s CEO
Four ARMv8-A processor licences signed, and an additional architecture licence for smart mobile devices.
Four Mali multimedia processor licences signed, including another licence for Mali video technology
Two POP IP licences were signed, including one for a Cortex-A53 processor implementation on a 28nm process and ARM derived its first physical IP royalty revenues from a leading edge FinFET manufacturing process
There was ‘strong’ y-o-y growth in shipments of microcontrollers and, all in all, 3.8 billion ARM-based chips were shipped in Q1 – up 31% year-on-year
For Q2 ARM expects a normal seasonal decline in line with the general semiconductor market.
Well they are said to have flogged 10 billion cores in 2013, AnotherDavid, and they’ve grown a lot since so 3.8bn x 4 chips this year is possible – especially when you see how fast ARM microcontrollers are growing
That is a lot of chips and cores!
The ARM Q1 report says 3.8 bn ‘ARM-based chips’ Another David, so it’s chips not cores
Huge number.
Is that devices or processors – with 4 or 8 on some devices it makes a difference, but still a big number.
Yes indeed Stooriefit, 482 – awesome
My arithmetic may be dodgy, but that is nearly 500 devices a second.
