September 07, 2023, 01:00 PM EDT

The British chip designer reveals that AMD, Apple and Google are among the potential ‘cornerstone investors’ in its much-hyped initial public offering. Two others, Intel and Nvidia, confirmed their plans to invest. ‘Arm has played this absolutely foundational role in the tech business but in a pretty much invisible way to most of the outside world for a very long time,’ an analyst says.

Synopsys

Synopsys did not respond to a request to comment about its potential plan to invest in Arm’s IPO.

Mountain View, Calif.-based Synopsys is a provider of electronic design automation tools and silicon technologies that are used to design chips, including Arm-based processors.

In May, the company unveiled an expanded collaboration with Arm around AI-enhanced design that is expected to accelerate the speed at which chips are created.
