Arm to make proprietary AI ICs

SoftBank and Arm are to develop proprietary AI chips and sell them as merchant market devices, reports the Nikkei.

Softbank and Arm will  contribute to the development  costs and Arm will set up a separate division for the initiative.

The chips will be fabbed  by foundries and TSMC is already said to have been approached for capacity.

The plan is to build a prototype by 2025 with production starting  in the autumn of 2025.



When mass production is underway, it is reported that the Arm AI unit will be  transferred to Softbank to become a separate division of Softbank.
