About Arm Holdings
Arm designs processor cores and related designs for GPUs and neural processing units, and licenses them to other companies instead of selling most chips itself. Licensees such as phone and server chip makers build the designs into their own silicon. This licensing model separates it from firms like Intel or AMD that make and sell finished processors. Arm is headquartered in Cambridge, England, was founded in 1990 as a joint venture of Acorn Computers, Apple and VLSI Technology, and has been majority owned by SoftBank Group since 2016. It listed on Nasdaq in September 2023.
Arm Holdings was founded in 1990 and is based in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It is listed under Custom Silicon, AI Accelerators, CPUs & RISC-V. Its shares trade as ARM on NASDAQ.

What Arm Holdings works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
CPUs & RISC-V
A CPU, or central processing unit, is the general-purpose chip that runs a computer. It reads instructions, does arithmetic and logic, and decides what happens next. Every phone, laptop and server has at least one.
