Data Center and Cloud AI Momentum
Data center royalty revenue more than doubled year-over-year, driven by accelerating ramp of Arm-based server chips and increased deployments of data center networking chips (DPUs/SmartNICs where Arm has ~100% share). Arm-based compute represents about 50% market share with top hyperscalers.
Arm AGI CPU Demand and Strategic Wins
Arm AGI CPU has >$2B of customer demand across fiscal 2027–2028 (more than double initial launch statement). Meta is lead partner/co-developer; design wins/commitments from SAP, Cloudflare, F5, SK Telecom and others. Company remains on track to target $15B AGI CPU revenue by FYE31.
Ecosystem Support and Market Adoption
More than 50 leading companies supporting Arm's expansion into silicon. Major cloud providers (Google, AWS, Microsoft) and accelerator vendors (NVIDIA) are adopting Arm-based host/head CPUs in next-gen AI infrastructure (e.g., Google replacing x86 with Arm Axion CPUs for TPU 8t/8i).
Annualized Contract Value (ACV) Growth
ACV grew 22% year-over-year, indicating strong underlying licensing trends despite lumpiness of high-value deals.
