Where Innovation and Ideas Come to Life
Mobile Computing
Consumers want a range of mobile devices, from smartphones to laptops to PCs, that feature immersive computing with powerful AI, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and ML capabilities. Arm offers a broad range of IP that lets developers, SiPs, and OEMs address these increasingly complex requirements.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are expanding and defining more applications than ever before, changing how we interact with devices and machines everywhere. Arm processor IP is scalable and flexible enough to run any type of ML workload, today or in the future.
Autonomous Vehicles
Flexible Partitioning means up to four dedicated hardware partitions can be created for workload separation. This is a key feature for autonomous vehicles, which can potentially enable fixed route shuttles and last mile delivery vehicles or transform road-freight and ride-hailing services.

Cortex-A
The Cortex-A processor series powers more advanced user experiences and richer interfaces, and provides the high-performance computing needed for complex healthcare applications, such as genomic sequencing.
Mali Graphics Processors
Mali GPUs include both graphics and GPU compute technology to offer a diverse selection of scalable solutions for low-power, high-performance smartphones, tablets, and digital TVs.
A Foundation of Silicon Success
Arm-based chips, device architectures, and technologies orchestrate the performance of everything that makes modern life possible — from smartphones to agricultural sensors and from medical instruments to servers.
Arm NN
Arm NN bridges the gap between existing NN frameworks and the underlying IP. It supports the efficient translation of existing neural network frameworks, such as TensorFlow and Caffe, allowing them to run efficiently – without modification – across Arm Cortex-A CPUs, Arm Mali GPUs and the Ethos-N NPUs.
Arm Compute Library
This software library is a collection of optimized low-level functions for Arm Cortex-A CPUs and Arm Mali GPUs that target popular image processing, computer vision, and ML. It offers significant performance uplift over OSS alternatives and is available free of charge under a permissive MIT open source license.
