Arm released a new version of what is called its instruction set architecture, the most fundamental recipe for a chip that defines what kind software it can run. Arm makes major updates to the architecture only about once a decade, and its major rival is Intel Corp, which supplies the so-called x86 architecture that powers most of today's laptops and data center servers and underlies chips from both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
The new architecture, which Arm calls "V9," aims to counter Intel in two areas: Security and artificial intelligence. One of the major ...
