ARM has licensed its ARM v8-A architecture to Huaxintong Semiconductor Technology to accelerate advanced server chipset technologies in the rapidly expanding Chinese server market.
ARM said this multiyear license will enable Chinese companies to deliver ARM-based server technologies in their home market, enabling large scale deployment of the most efficient server solutions available.
Huaxintong Semiconductor Technology is a joint venture between China’s Guizhou province and a subsidiary of Qualcomm. The venture is registered in Guizhou province, which is already home to a data center cluster of more than 2.5 million servers for companies including China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicorn.
