Arm to Launch Own Chips, Names Meta as Lead Client for AGI CPU
Arm (ARM.O), known for licensing technology to semiconductor manufacturers, will for the first time begin selling its own chips, aiming to capture a larger share of the massive spending on artificial intelligence devices. At an event in San Francisco on Tuesday, Arm said that Meta would be the primary client for its first chip, the AGI CPU. Arm said the product would have up to 136 cores, a measure of processing power, and consume 300 watts of power. TSMC will manufacture the chips. Following the announcement, Arm's U.S.-listed shares once surged to an intraday high.
