Arm is breaking from its IP-licensing-only model to manufacture its own chips, with CEO Rene Haas unveiling the Arm AGI CPU — a server-grade processor targeting agentic AI workloads in data centers. The chip is fabricated by TSMC on a 3nm process and is designed to pair with other accelerators for high-performance AI inference. This is a significant strategic pivot that puts Arm in direct competition with existing chipmakers and positions it to capture margin in the AI infrastructure build-out.
