In 2009, Intel's cost of sales and operating exspenses were a combined $29.6 billion. In contrast, ARM Holdings, the company that develops and supports the ARM architecture, had total exspenses (cost of sales and operating) of $259 million. Unlike Intel, ARM does not produce and manufacture chips; instead it licenses its technology to OEMs and other parties and the chips are often manufacture using contract foundry (e.g.,TSMC), this gives ARM a low cost structure.
ARM is the industry's leading provider of 32-bit embedded microprocessors, offering a wide range of processers based on a common architecture that delivers high performance, industry leading power efficiency and reduced system cost. Also, ARM has the broadest ecosystem in the industry with over 750 Partners delivering silicon, tools and software.
ARM Classic Processors are ideal for organizations who wish to leverage market-proven technologies into new applications. These processors deliver a host of features, excellent efficiency, and a wide range of performance capabilities for cost sensitive solutions. They minimize integration challenges, improves time to market,and giving world wide support and maintenance. With its foothold in the embedded systems and mobile markets, ARM technology continues to improve.
