UK-based microprocessor designer ARM Holdings has published quarterly results that show revenue up 26% year-on-year.

Revenue reached £171.2 million, while pre-tax profit was up 30% to £86.6 million. The company also said it had generated a record £96 million in cash.

Simon Segars, ARM’s CEO, said “ARM has delivered another quarter of strong revenue and normalised earnings growth. We continue to see demand for ARM’s next generation technology, and in Q2 we signed five licenses for Cortex-A series processors, and seven licenses for ARM’s Mali graphics processor, demonstrating our leadership in both low-power processor and 3D graphics technology. During the quarter, our Partners announced exciting new design wins as ARM-based chips were selected for high-volume OEM products. These included many new smartphones and tablets, ARM-based 64-bit servers and mobile base stations. In Q2, ARM’s processor royalty revenue again outperformed the semiconductor industry, growing at 24% year-on-year. In part this outperformance was driven by the growth in smartphones and mobile computing. These smart devices increasingly contain both ARM’s higher-royalty yielding Cortex-A processor technology and also ARM’s Mali graphics.”

ExclusiveWhy the Sat-Nav Application Model is Broken

James Rosewell writes:

Most Sat-Nav applications are now obtained via the Application Store used on the mobile phone. Navigon have gone so far as to remove access to their application via any other route. Application Stores are now the only choice. This move to a platform-specific sales model is a massive mistake.

ExclusiveCome on, Steve Jobs – why don't you attack a few more mobile companies?

Mark Bridge writes:

Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend breaks up with him acrimoniously. So off he goes and creates Facebook. Yes, there's nothing like an insult to fire up the creativity. Well, that's certainly what the plot of The Social Network would like you to think.

And, you know, it's got a point. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that sticking two fingers up at the opposition seems to be the new way of doing business.

ExclusiveThe positive cult of giffgaff

Mark Bridge writes:

Wouldn't it be great if mobile customers loved their networks so much that they'd fight for them?  Ofcom would be inundated with complaints from O2 users about its decision not to allow GSM frequencies to be used for 3G services. Vodafone customers would demand that Nokia pre-loaded the N8 with a Vodafone 360 application. Orange users would be sending petitions to radio stations, asking them to implement HD Voice on phone-ins. And giffgaff users would take to online forums to defend the service they receive.

Oh, hang on. That last one's already happening.
