But , They are All ARM-Based
ARM is IP Core
Intellectual Property
1. reusable unit of logic, cell, or chip layout design
2. may be licensed to another party or can be
owned

….
Grows Extremely Fast
Much Cheaper than Other IP Cores
Because of PPA Law
Does require large amount of R&D Investment
50 – 150 million Dollars For Reinventing what
ARM does for each year
spreads the R&D costs over the whole industry
Eco Friendly
ARM-based are Cheaper than
Others
Using 20nm Tech , Smaller
It’s RISC , less commands available
less transistors
less heat and power usage
Penetration of ARM
In Mobile Applications:
Smartphones , Tablets, Ultrabooks , Calculators
Beyond Mobile Applications:
digital TVs, hard disk drives, washing machines &
etc
new technology outsourcing
Like Robotics instant of using ATMEL
