Arm, a pivotal player in the semiconductor industry primarily known for licensing its chip designs, is set to manufacture its own chips in 2023. This strategic shift comes after securing Meta as a major customer, aiming to produce customized CPUs for large data centers. Although Arm will still rely on outsourcing for production, this move marks a significant change from its traditional model of licensing designs to giants like Apple and Nvidia, potentially turning existing partners into competitors.
Arm, which is majorly owned by SoftBank, will start making its own chips now that Meta has signed on as a customer, according to the Financial Times.
This is a notable change in strategy for the semiconductor company, which usually licenses its chip blueprints to companies like Apple and Nvidia.
