Arm Holdings plc has announced that they have made a strategic investment in Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is originally intended for students but they have become a tool to develop Internet of Things (IoT) prototypes and items. After securing their agreement with ARM, the latter company gained a minority stake in Raspberry Pi. “Arm and Raspberry Pi share a vision to make computing accessible for all, by lowering barriers to innovation so that anyone, anywhere can learn, experience and create new IoT solutions,” said Paul Williamson, SVP and GM, Internet of Things Line of Business, Arm. “With the rapid growth of edge and endpoint AI applications, platforms like those from Raspberry Pi, built on Arm, are critical to driving the adoption of high-performance IoT devices globally by enabling developers to innovate faster and more easily. If you're familiar with the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 that powers the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S including the new Archos Android tablets, then it's going to be easy to imagine what a dual Cortex-A15 running up to 2.5GHz would look like. Samsung also announced a few days ago that they're shipping their new dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 1GHz starting 4th quarter of this year. ARM's dual-core Cortex-A15 MPCore can reach clock speeds of up to 2.5GHz and should be available by 2012.
