Friday, June 22, 2012, 4:33 PM ETDon't think of ARM (ARMH) as a mere CPU core developer. Shipments of chips containing ARM's Mali graphics processor (GPU) cores are expected to double this year to 100M, according to marketing exec Kevin Smith. Smith adds Mali cores are now found in 70% of "graphics-enabled" HDTVs, 50% of Android tablets, and 20% of Android phones. Mali competes with GPU cores from Imagination (IGNMF.PK), which are used in Apple's A5 and many other mobile processors.

"....this guy clearly doesn't realize how little royalty and licensing money $ARMH gets on each chip...."
This guy being Kevin Smith of ARM!!!

The 100m quoted is shipment of chips and not revenues
".....ARM's partners are forecast to ship more than 100 million Mali GPUs in 2012, up over 100% from 2011 levels, Smith indicated. The anticipated shipment rise – driven by brisk demand for Android smartphones and tablets, and China's growing smart-TV market – will boost ARM's presence significantly in the global GPU-IP market this year, Smith added......"
Anyway, Kevin Smith, the rest of the ARM workforce and those of us who actually truly understand the ARM business model know that ARM don't get "licensing money" on each chip
Seriously Ron, please go and learn how this business works and you'll make fewer mistakes.
