ARM Chips May Spread Into Everyday Items - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • This is the so-called Internet of Things, when all sorts of everyday objects will have tiny chips placed inside them and gain the ability to process information and talk to the Web.
  • ARM chips, by contrast, are made by a handful of contract chip manufacturers and cost 65 cents to $20 each.
  • ARM executives agree that the future is with the billions of coming things — cars, refrigerators, TVs, clothes, buildings — that will have full-blown chips or at least Web-ready sensors inside them. In many cases, they say, these things will need the lowest-power chips possible because they will be out in the world and away from a plug. Energy has replaced horsepower as the prime concern, and it is here, ARM executives said, that the company’s skills will really shine.
