Processor IP – Design of the brain of the chip

Software development tools

ARM Technology Advanced digital products are incorporating

more and more ARM technology – from processor and multimedia IP to software

Physical IP – Design of the building blocks of the chip

ARM Mali Ecosystem

Strength in key market segments: #1 Android GPU IP

supplier >20% Android Smartphones

#1 in Android tablets (>50%)

#1 in Digital Smart TVs (>70%)

ARM Mali GPUs are leaders in balancing power, area and functionality

ARM Ecosystem Success Stories

Cocos2d-XBy using ARM Ecosystem tools and support: 52% faster FPS after avoiding wasteful memcpy (some code was

overusing it) – ARM tools for profiling showed where the hotspot was. 29% faster FPS after adding Texture compression support 28% faster response when CPU thread synchronization enhanced

Details on http://www.cocos2d-x.org/news/137

PLAYJAM - Gamestick Using the wider Ecosystem resources: Interface directly with TV OEMs and be on their game store front end Interface with operators and game studios Access to all different breath of ARM silicon partners to get the best

feature set for next generation products Technical support Gamestick pod on ARM booths at events
