What does arm mean
ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) is a company name, a general name for processors, and also a technology name.
In 1991, ARM was founded in Cambridge, England, mainly selling the licensing of chip design technology. At present, microprocessors with intellectual property (IP) core of ARM technology, commonly known as ARM microprocessors, have spread across the market of industrial control, consumer electronics, communication systems, network systems, wireless systems and other products. Microprocessor applications based on ARM technology account for more than 75% of the market share of 32-bit RISC microprocessors, ARM technology is gradually infiltrating into all aspects of our lives.
ARM is a company specialized in chip design and development based on RISC technology. As an intellectual property supplier, it does not directly engage in chip production. Instead, it produces chips with different characteristics by transferring design licenses. The world's major semiconductor manufacturers (RFID radio frequency bulletin: PHILIPS TI, Intel, BroadCom, ATMEL, etc.) purchase ARM microprocessor cores designed by ARM companies, and add appropriate peripheral circuits according to different application fields, so as to form their own ARM microprocessor chips to enter the market. At present, dozens of large semiconductor companies around the world use the authorization of ARM, which not only enables ARM technology to obtain more third-party tools, manufacturing, software support, but also reduces the cost of the entire system, making products easier to enter the market and be accepted by consumers, making them more competitive.
