British chip designer ARM is working on its own advanced semiconductor to showcase the power and capabilities of its design, Financial Times reports. According to people briefed on the move, ARM will work with manufacturing partners to bring the new chip to fruition.
They’re not intending to get into the chip game, as this will only be a prototype chip to demonstrate what they can do.
I am not so sure about that. In my opinion they are testing the waters to sell their own chips to have a greater margin.
So an Arm build ARM chip manufactured by Intel. Interesting times.
ARM has always made their own chips. They sell SoCs designs down to the layout leverl.
this is nothing new, just an internal renaming of an ARM group that is doing more validation of their flows. By having an in house bring up team. Alas, clickbait…
No. They never made their own chips. And now they will.
Read the article before claiming clickbait:
“While the company has developed test chips in the past for software developers to get familiar with its new design, its newest efforts are more extensive than before.”

ARM literally started by selling their own chips. So they have made their own chips plenty of times.
3rd parties have been able to buy the whole SoC straight from ARM. Few customers have chosen to do so.
@torb
That’s literally what I said; the in house bring up team is the “efforts more extensive than before.”
I see. They did it in late 80s and early 90s. So because of that this article is a clickbait. C’mon. Educate yourself and rather admit you learn something new each day. And lets move on. What likely happened is you didn’t read what this is all about. And just made some assumptions. But OK. Lets move on now.
