ARM alchemy turns ubiquity into gold, profits up 25 percent

A 25 percent rise in profits might look modest in comparison with the 167 percent explosion announced on the end of Q2 last year, but we doubt anyone at ARM’s UK HQ shall be moaning. A typically understated earnings report highlighted 1.1 billion ARM-based chips shipped into mobiles and tablets, plus another 800 million chips into other kinds of devices in Q2. Other tidbits included two new signings for next-gen Cortex-A15 chips, plus two more for Mali graphics chips, which must help the mobile chip king maintain its dominance into next year. While you had a further sausage together with your fry-up this morning, ARM, then you definately deserved it.
