Arm Aims for 50% Share of Windows PC Market by 2029, CEO Predicts

Arm aims 50% of Windows PC market share

Arm CEO Renee Haas told Reuters that Arm could achieve a 50% share of the Windows PC market by 2029.

"Arm’s market share in Windows – I think, truly, in the next five years, it could be better than 50%," said Haas.

Currently, Arm holds an 11% share of the Windows PC market, according to Counterpoint Research. However, Microsoft is reportedly investing significantly in tools to support the transition from x86 to Arm.

Qualcomm is developing an Arm-based chip for PCs, and Nvidia has indicated it may do the same.

Recently, Arm introduced tapeout-ready compute subsystems for both phones and computers, enabling Arm to charge higher fees than for cores.

This strategy of moving up the value chain with more integrated products was previewed by Haas during the investor pitch prior to last September's IPO.

Since the IPO, Arm’s share price has soared from $51 to $120, valuing the company at $126 billion.

Haas received a special bonus of $20 million and other IPO-related benefits worth $46.3 million, in addition to his $1.35 million salary.
