    It designs chipsets for smartphones, consumer appliances and boasts of a robust IP portfolio.

    Slowdown in the smart phone market has led ARM to focus on investments in 'Internet-of-Things' devices.

    Revenue forecasts for the IoT segment are expected to equal that of mobile phones by 2020.
