Arm Holdings
Hardware
Arm's first self-designed, TSMC-manufactured production CPU — up to 136 Neoverse V3 cores on 3nm — built for sustained agentic-AI data-centre workloads and co-developed with lead customer Meta.
Arm's second-generation mobile compute subsystem — the C2 CPU cluster (C2-Ultra, C2-Pro) with SME2 for on-device agentic AI — positioned by Arm against "the previous generation Arm (Lumex) reference platform".
A licensable microNPU IP core that adds on-device ML inference to area- and power-constrained embedded and IoT designs paired with Cortex-M processors.
A licensable microNPU IP core delivering roughly double the on-device inference performance of Ethos-U55, for Cortex-A, Cortex-R and Neoverse-based edge systems.
Neural processing unit designs licensed to chip makers for running models on edge and mobile devices.
Arm's AI-first mobile Compute Subsystem, a licensable CPU, GPU and system-IP bundle for on-device generative AI, shipping in the vivo X300 and OPPO Find X9.
CPU designs licensed to chip makers for servers and data-centre silicon, including the host processors in AI systems.
A configurable, pre-validated compute subsystem built on Neoverse N4 cores (8–128 cores per die, Armv9.3, up to 3.8 GHz on 3 nm) with integrated system IP, delivered to partners as RTL for agentic-infrastructure silicon.
A licensable physical-AI Compute Subsystem combining Cortex-A and Cortex-R processors with system IP for safety-relevant AI-defined vehicle and robotics SoCs.
SambaNova
Hardware
Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit accelerators designed to run large models at low latency.
Air-cooled, rack-scale AI inference hardware system integrating 16 SN50 RDU chips per rack (scalable across multiple racks); accessed via on-premises deployment, SambaCloud, or contact-sales for enterprise/government deployments.
No counterpart
SambaNova sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Arm Holdings yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Infrastructure service
Full-stack AI system pairing SambaNova's RDU hardware with its serving software, deployed in a customer's own data centre.
Model API
Hosted inference service serving open-weight models on SambaNova's own RDU hardware, billed per token.
