CAMBRIDGE, England, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- ARM
(LSE:ARM)(NASDAQ:ARMHY) today celebrated a major milestone at
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona -- 10 years since the launch of
the iconic ARM Powered(R) Nokia 6110, the first mass-market phone
based on the ARM7TDMI(R) processor. In 1997, ARM silicon Partners
shipped fewer than 10 million chips; in 2007, they shipped nearly
three billion, with an average of 1.7 ARM Powered chips per mobile
phone. The diversity of today's mobile devices is built on the
creativity of the 400-plus members of the ARM(R) Connected
Community, which create new, cost-effective solutions for the
industry that incorporate the wide range of ARM processors and SoC
intellectual property. ARM's heritage in mobile devices goes back
to 1990 with the development of the Apple Newton, which arguably
started the market for Personal Digital Assistants. However, it was
the widespread adoption of ARM processors in mobile phones over the
last 10 years that has helped ARM's silicon Partners sell 7 billion
chips into the mobile market, out of the 10 billion cumulative ARM
Powered SoCs. ARM has been able to revolutionize the mobile
industry through its pioneering business model. The company chose
to license its technology to silicon Partners and charge a small
royalty on ARM Powered processors shipped. OEMs saw the value in
being able to source chips from multiple vendors with software
compatibility. Today, the number of ARM processor-based devices
shipped is roughly 10 times greater than the volume of x86 chips
that go into PCs. "If you bought a GSM phone in 1998, it could have
been the Nokia 6110," said Rob Coombs, director of mobile solutions
at ARM. "At the time, phones were for talking or texting, with
simple black and white displays and powered by a small, innovative,
low-power processor from ARM. Over the past 10 years, ARM has
become the standard architecture for mobile devices, and the
capabilities of mobile devices have grown in step with the ARM
processor roadmap. Today you can choose an ARM11(TM) family-based
phone that can play YouTube videos, send and receive e-mail or run
a 3D game with console-type quality. ARM supplies the engines,
software and tools that makes this possible." "ARM is a force of
nature; it powers the mobile world," said Tony Massimini, chief of
technology, Semico Research. "Whether you are developing a Mobile
Internet Device or a low-cost phone, the compute engine of choice
is designed by ARM." ARM will be celebrating its 10 years in
mass-market mobile devices at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona,
where it will be demonstrating the next-generation ARM Cortex(TM)
processors and Mali(TM) graphics technology that will power the
devices of 2009. About ARM ARM designs the technology that lies at
the heart of advanced digital products, from wireless, networking
and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive,
