The everything blueprint : processing power, politics, and the microchip design that conquered the world
Ashton, James (Journalist)2023
Book
A big source of tension between the US and China at the moment is technology. And one very small component is now at the centre of this battle for global dominance: the microchip. Controlling chip manufacturing in the 21st century may well prove to be like controlling the oil supply in the 20th. The country that controls this manufacturing can throttle the military and economic power of others. At the heart of this battle is ARM Holdings. Founded in Cambridge in 1990, ARM specialises in microprocessors, and dominates the global smartphone market. It's a real British tech success story. But it's currently caught in the middle of a war for total control on microchips because whoever controls ARM, controls microchips. This book describes the titanic power struggle for control of the microchip - told through the story of a British start up that has found itself in the middle.
