Arm (ARM) Arm Everywhere: Keynote summary

Key announcements and product launches

• Announced the Arm AGI CPU, the company's first silicon chip for data centers, designed for agentic AI workloads and built on the Neoverse V3 Compute Subsystem with 136 high-performance cores, 3.7 GHz frequency, and 300W TDP on a 3nm TSMC process.

• AGI CPU features 96 lanes of PCIe Gen 6, CXL 3.0 support, DDR5 memory with 6 GB/s per core, and a dual-chiplet design for low latency and high efficiency.

• The chip is available now, with production ramping by year-end and committed customers including Meta, OpenAI, Cloudflare, SAP, F5, and others.

• Arm is committed to a multi-generational roadmap, with AGI CPU 2 and 3 already in development, and continued investment in Compute Subsystems (CSS).

• The AGI CPU delivers up to 2x performance per watt compared to x86 equivalents, enabling significant CapEx savings for data centers.

Industry trends, impact, and strategic context

• Over 350 billion Arm chips have shipped, outnumbering non-Arm CPUs by 7x, with an average of 160 Arm chips per global household.

• Exponential growth in AI and agentic workloads is driving unprecedented demand for compute, with data centers facing power and scalability constraints.

• CPUs remain essential in AI data centers, orchestrating workloads and handling agentic queries that increase token generation by up to 15x per user.

• The Arm ecosystem supports over 22 million software developers and integrates with major platforms and companies across cloud, AI, and enterprise sectors.

• Arm's business model is expanding from IP licensing to delivering finished chips, responding to partner demand and market evolution.

Customer and partner perspectives

• Meta selected Arm as a primary partner for its efficiency and ability to scale, co-developing the AGI CPU for massive AI clusters and personal superintelligence.

• OpenAI emphasized the critical role of CPUs in orchestrating agentic AI and the need for efficient compute to accelerate scientific discovery.

• Cloudflare, SAP, SK Telecom, and others are adopting the AGI CPU for head node management, agentic orchestration, and cloud infrastructure.

• Partners praised Arm's focus on performance per watt, scalability, and ecosystem contributions, with many highlighting the AGI CPU as a foundational technology for the next decade.

• The software ecosystem is mature, with major cloud and AI leaders optimizing for Arm, and porting workloads is now highly accessible, often aided by LLMs.
