Ever since Apple switched to its own Arm-powered Apple silicon chips, the company’s Mac division has seen a remarkable uptick in its fortunes, with sales climbing year-on-year. Now, a new report says Arm chips could make up as much as 30% of the entire PC market by 2026.
Arm chips were rarely seen until just a couple of years ago. Apple only started selling computers backed by the Arm-based M1 system-ona-chip (SoC) in 2020, but its Arm computers had gobbled up 13.5% of the PC market by the third quarter of 2022, according to research at IDC.
