Intel In Slide: Arm aims to capture 50% of PC market in five years, CEO says
Intel, schmintel. Arm Holdings aims to gain more than 50% of the Windows PC market in five years, the chip designer’s CEO said, as Microsoft and Windows PC peddlers prepare to launch Arm-powered PCs.
According to Statista, as of May 2024, Apple’s Arm-powered personal computers (Macs) hold 14.9% of the worldwide PC market.
Chips made by Intel have dominated the PC industry for decades and if the Arm push succeeds, it would reorder the market.
“Arm’s market share in Windows – I think, truly, in the next five years, it could be better than 50%,” CEO Rene Haas told Reuters in an interview.
Microsoft and hardware vendors are following in Apple’s footsteps. The company has seen success from its introduction of Arm designs. It has sold machines with its “M Series” processors for roughly four years and those chips offer long battery life and speedy performance.
Qualcomm has designed the first Arm-based chip to introduce consumers and businesses to the new Windows-based Arm machines, but other vendors will follow, Haas said.
