Number of startups using Arm chips has also increased 12-fold
The number of customers using Arm-based chips in data centers has increased 14x since 2021.
In comments to Reuters, the company said its data center customers have reached 70,000, while also seeing a 12x increase in the number of startups using Arm chips during the same period.
Traditionally, Intel has had the server market cornered with its x86 chips, but as hyperscalers increasingly look to develop their own CPUs, Arm’s offering has grown in popularity as it allows companies to design a chip that can be customized to meet their exact needs.
The company’s N series Neoverse CPUs, first launched in 2018, are specifically targeted at the server market.
In February 2024, Arm released two new Neoverse compute subsystems (CSS) built on a brand new third-generation of its Neoverse IP, with the Neoverse CSS N3 offering a 20 percent per core uplift in performance-per-watt over CSS N2.
Since 2021, the number of applications running on Arm-based systems has doubled to nine million, the company also told Reuters, with the developer base working with the company's computing architecture having also increased by 1.5 times to 22 million since 2021.
