U.K. microchip designer ARM Holdings PLC (ARM.LN) had a good year last year with ‎share prices hovering at a high for the first time in ten years. Microsoft Corp. would be ‎using ARM chips in their next version of their Windows operating system. Thus far Intel ‎was providing the chips. As a result of new technological advances, there is shift towards ‎smartphones and tablets, which run on chips based on ARM based chip technology.

ARM is poised to benefit from its stronghold in high-end tablet space as well as low-end ‎laptops due to the change in scenario. However it may take sometime before the next ‎Windows operating system is introduced. Recently the new operating system based on ‎ARM chip was displayed at the CES as a first preview. It may take another two years ‎before the new OS based products is introduced in the commercial space. ‎

Currently ARM’s microchips are used extensively in most mobile phones, iPhone and ‎iPad. In October around half a billion consumers purchased ARM-based products and ‎four billion chips have been sold worldwide till date.‎
