Chip shortage helps ARM to record royalty revenues
英国加工商Core Designer Arm在2021年获得了创纪录的收入，部分原因是芯片短缺。
这家总部位于剑桥的公司的特许权使用费收入增长了20％，达到了292亿筹码的15.4亿美元。This was helped by strong growth of 5G smartphones and more ADAS driver assistance chips going into cars, says the company. This is also down to price increases in 32bit microcontrollers, which have been in higher demand and so there has been a shortage.
Licensing revenue also rose 61% to $1.13bn as the company has reduced the cost of taking a license to attract designers that have also been looking at the open source RISC-V instruction set and open source design tools. “Our expanded product portfolio and new business models such as ARM Flexible Access gave more customers more reasons and more ways to license ARM technology,” said the company.

由于Softbank计划在IPO中浮动该公司的国际证券交易所，总体上升35％到27亿美元将是展示增长机会的关键。成为该小组的一部分意味着，没有披露其他细节，例如陷入困境的中国合资企业的业务细分。
The move to IPO comes after Nvidia’s failed takeover bid that saw long term CEO Simon Segars leave the company. However it will come at the time the industry sees a significant slowdown.
“Our record results demonstrate that the demand for Arm technology and the strength of the Arm ecosystem has never been greater – our compute platform will power the next set of technology revolutions across cloud computing, automotive and autonomous systems, the IoT, the Metaverse and beyond,” said Rene Haas, CEO of ARM who replaced Segars . “As we look ahead to a future built on Arm, our priority is to continue to deliver on our business strategy, enable partners with the solutions they need through further investment in our roadmaps and engineering talent, and together with our ecosystem redefine the future of computing.”
