Back in 2011, Arm released the AArch64 instruction set, the first 64-bit support on Arm CPUs. Since then, Arm&rsquo;s silicon partners have been producing a range of systems-on-chip (SoCs) that adopt Arm&rsquo;s high performance CPUs. These power a broad range of diverse devices and technologies, including <a href="https://newsroom.arm.com/news/tcs23-mediatek-vivo" title="flagship smartphones" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">flagship smartphones</a> , <a href="https://newsroom.arm.com/blog/windows-on-arm-laptop-momentum" title="laptops" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">laptops</a> , <a href="https://newsroom.arm.com/blog/high-end-aiot-markets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">industrial IoT</a> , servers, and even <a href="https://newsroom.arm.com/news/arm-powered-fugaku-supercomputer-claims-1-spot-on-top500-third-time-in-a-row" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">powerful super computers</a> .</p>
