ARM’s keynote at Computex Taipei: Fully embracing the AI wave
At the recent Computex Taipei, ARM’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Client Line of Business, Chris Bergey, delivered a keynote titled “Driving AI from Cloud to Edge,” emphasizing the commitment of the entire ecosystem to propel the next wave of artificial intelligence that will transform the lives of billions.
Chris Bergey stated, “AI is changing everything at an unprecedented pace. ARM and its world-class ecosystem continue to innovate and invest in both hardware and software to realize the next wave of AI that will change the lives of billions.” Today, ARM has transformed into a computing platform company, focusing on helping partners integrate technology and scale quickly through a system-level approach to seize the opportunities presented by AI.
In the cloud and data center space, as AWS, Google, and Microsoft continue to expand their self-developed data center chips based on ARM computing platforms, ARM expects that by 2025, nearly 50% of the computing power shipped to leading hyperscale cloud service providers will be based on ARM architecture. This growth momentum stems from the industry’s strong demand for ARM’s efficient and energy-saving computing capabilities to support complex AI inference and training workloads. Compared to other platforms, the ARM architecture chips adopted by leading cloud service providers can achieve up to a 40% improvement in energy efficiency.
Meanwhile, the demand for ARM architecture in the PC and tablet market has significantly increased, with projections indicating that by 2025, it will account for 40% of total shipments. Currently, most mainstream applications worldwide have launched native versions for Windows on ARM, providing a faster and more powerful AI PC experience, covering core applications such as chatbots and productivity tools.
Additionally, NVIDIA’s DGX Spark AI desktop computing platform is also showing strong momentum. This platform features the Grace Blackwell superchip based on the ARM v9 architecture CPU, capable of supporting AI computing for models with 200 billion parameters, attracting attention from developers and researchers dedicated to building powerful next-generation AI models. At this year’s COMPUTEX, NVIDIA announced partnerships with leading global system manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, and MSI to create NVIDIA DGX Spark and DGX Station systems.
In addition to innovative hardware, Bergey also reviewed ARM’s world-leading software ecosystem. Currently, there are over 22 million developers working on the ARM platform. It is due to the strength and diversity of the developer community that ARM continues to invest heavily in software, assisting developers in reducing complexity and improving efficiency during the development process.
Regarding the future and the development of AI, Chris Bergey stated that the AI era presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine how technology impacts the world. However, to truly realize this potential, it still relies on continuous innovation and deep collaboration with ARM’s world-class ecosystem. From cloud to edge, ARM’s computing platform is at the core of this transformation, not only driving AI to be ubiquitous but also shaping its future step by step. ARM is the cornerstone of the future.
