ARM

ARM (previously an acronym for Advanced RISC Machine and originally Acorn RISC Machine) is a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors, configured for various environments. Arm Holdings develops the architecture and licenses it to other companies, who design their own products that implement one of those architectures‍—‌including systems-on-chips (SoC) and systems-on-modules (SoM) that incorporate memory, interfaces, radios, etc. It also designs cores that implement this instruction set and licenses these designs to a number of companies that incorporate those core designs into their own products.

ARM Cores (Family)
{{reflist|group=a}}

Example applications of ARM cores
ARM cores are used in a number of products, particularly PDAs and smartphones. Some computing examples are Microsoft's Surface (2012 tablet), Surface 2
 * and Pocket PC devices (following Pocket PC 2002), Apple's iPads and Asus's Eee Pad Transformer tablet computers, and several Chromebook laptops.

Others include Apple's iPhone smartphones and iPod portable media players, Canon PowerShot digital cameras, Nintendo Switch hybrid and Nintendo 3DS
 * handheld game consoles, and TomTom turn-by-turn GPS navigation systems.

In 2005, Arm Holdings took part in the development of Manchester University's computer SpiNNaker,
 * which used ARM cores to simulate the human brain.

ARM chips are also used in Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, PandaBoard and other SBCs,
 * because they are very small, inexpensive and consume very little power.
