ARM’s Server Opportunity “Energy constrained” servers are driving innovative low-
power architectures/platforms ARM is well placed to take advantage of this transition Twenty+ year history of developing energy-sipping processors Business model that enables highly optimized SoC development Critical mass to deliver the software ecosystem
Market size ~12m servers per year Approximately 50m deployed
O t it f 4 ARM P d S C t Opportunity for ~4 ARM Powered SoCs per server system First ARM 32-bit servers shipped in H2 2012 First ARM 64-bit servers ship in 2014 First ARM 64-bit servers ship in 2014 20% server market addressable by ARM in 2015 ASP range from $50-200 (one size does not fit all)

Summary ARM and its partners are poised to take advantage of three
disruptive elements Adoption of open source and end user-owned software libraries Emergence of new hardware players
$ Migration away from pure performance to perf/watt/$ as key metric
