I visited Arm's headquarters in Cambridge recently to meet the team and find out how it comes together.
It's clear that chip design is no easy task. In an industry often focused on raw specifications like performance and power at any cost, the true secret to CPU leadership goes beyond the silicon itself. It's a sophisticated, data-driven philosophy. Instead of relying solely on traditional metrics like SPEC and synthetics alone, Arm's approach is to build for tomorrow's workloads today.
They do this by leveraging collective data from their extensive network of partners and using advanced tools to predict how software will behave in the future. This unique insight allows them to design and simulate hardware at a level such that customers can start writing software before it's even ready. This ensures the design is perfectly aligned with the real-world demands of upcoming applications.
It was a fascinating look into the process behind the world's most pervasive computing architecture. For the full story, I invite you to watch my deep dive into how Arm's approach goes beyond the numbers.
