This means that they’re more energy-efficient, allowing them to perform at similar levels as the Intels and AMDs, without eating as much power, which NVIDIA says will lead to a ‘new class of PCs’. While more complex, ARM actually needs to do a lot less than traditional CPUs to put it simply. Whenever you see a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor being talked about, it’s built on ARM, which Arm licenses out to these manufacturers as ‘partners’, allowing them to bring them to life in the ways that they see fit.Īs of right now, a majority of Chromebooks run off ARM and major companies like Microsoft have begun to work towards bringing their operating systems to it, with Apple famously ditching Intel’s processors for their own ARM-based M1 silicon chips for all Mac devices from 2020 onwards. Consolidation of these mega-corporations has been happening for the last few years, but this acquisition will be one of the largest for the industry so far.
