LONDON – ARM Holdings plc, the processor intellectual property, turned in yet another record quarter with Q1 sales revenue up 26 percent on a year before, compared with a semiconductor market that was up 13 percent.

While demand for smartphones and tablet computers where ARM (Cambridge, England) is prominent supplier of processor cores contributed it is also the case that a number of the firms licensing deals are increasingly broad with ARM-based chips going into many consumer electronics and industrial applications.
