In September 2015 the ARM CPU Design Center formally opened in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It is not only Taiwan’s first CPU design center but also the first ARM design center in Asia. The center specializes in Cortex-M processor development for IoT use.

After achieving overwhelming success in the cell phone market, ARM is still continuing to expand its applications market, and in addition to cell phone applications moving into the IoT device market is also an important goal. Therefore, the ARM Taiwan CPU design center has attracted the interest of the entire world, and it will play a pioneering role in determining whether or not ARM is successful in the IoT market.
