Arm's latest core design offers sufficient performance for both laptop and desktop applications, achieving this at a modest 4 GHz clock speed. Key features include a fast, state-of-the-art branch predictor and a large out-of-order execution engine, resulting in minimal performance penalties.

Arm aims to increase its presence in the semiconductor industry by shifting its strategy, as its designs are integral to most smartphones and connected devices but the company does not manufacture chips directly. Customers license Arm's designs, modify them, and produce the chips independently.
