Arm, the company known for designing the architecture used in most of the world's smartphones and tablets, is releasing its first in-house designed CPU chip. This marks a significant milestone for the company, as it has traditionally licensed its chip designs to other semiconductor manufacturers rather than producing its own chips. The new chip was developed in collaboration with Meta (formerly Facebook), which will be the first customer to use this Arm-designed processor. This move by Arm signals a shift in the company's strategy, as it looks to exert more control over the chip design process and potentially compete more directly with its licensees.
