http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/07/arm-nasdaq2.jpg Just when financial boffins expected ARM’s consistent double-digit growth to slow-down, the company has beaten their projections with a 23 percent rise in pre-tax profit. It made £66.5 million ($103 million) in profit from £129.8 million in revenue from its numerous mobile and low-power processor design licensees. Analysts expected worse performance for the simple reason that the world’s biggest chip-makers have warned of tougher times ahead – rival Intel has been careful to dampen people’s hopes for its next quarter, for example, and Qualcomm (a major ARM customer) has also reduced its forecasts.
