Arm just dropped a bombshell. The SoftBank-backed chip designer says its architecture now accounts for more than 50% of the hyperscale cloud computing market. That's a massive milestone in a decades-long battle against Intel and AMD.
Arm EVP Mohamed Awad made the claim, pointing to surging AI demand as a key driver reshaping the data center industry. The shift reflects how cloud giants have increasingly embraced Arm-based chips for their power efficiency and performance characteristics — exactly what AI workloads demand at scale.
For a company that built its empire on mobile processors, conquering half the hyperscale cloud market is a stunning achievement. Intel, which dominated data centers for years, is watching its grip loosen in real time. AMD isn't safe either.
AI infrastructure buildouts show no signs of slowing. Arm is riding that wave hard.

members of the notorious Scattered Spider hacking group folded immediately. On the very first day of their trial in the United Kingdom, both men pleaded guilty to criminal charges tied to a cyberattack that hammered Transport for London in August 2024.
The attack crippled operations at one of the world's largest transit systems. Scattered Spider has built a reputation as one of the most brazen cybercrime outfits in recent years, targeting major organizations with social engineering and intrusion tactics.
The guilty pleas came fast — no drawn-out courtroom drama, no fighting the charges. Details on sentencing haven't been disclosed yet.
The case marks another significant legal win against Scattered Spider, whose members have faced mounting pressure from law enforcement across multiple countries.

Torches AI Power Concentration, Pushes Low-Cost Tools","excerpt":"Microsoft's CEO warns the public won't accept a handful of AI labs controlling all knowledge and learning.","content":"Satya Nadella just went scorched earth on the current AI power structure. In a Wall Street Journal interview, Microsoft's chief executive argued that society simply won't stand for a small cluster of AI labs monopolizing the world's learning. His words: the public wouldn't tolerate a few players \"doing all of the learning for the world.\"
It's a sharp critique — and a conveniently timed one. Microsoft is actively pushing cheaper AI models and more accessible development tools, positioning itself as the democratizer in a field increasingly dominated by deep-pocketed incumbents.
Nadella framed the stakes in almost civic terms, saying AI companies need to earn \"society's permission\" to operate at scale. That's a notable posture from the head of one of the most powerful tech companies on the planet.
The message is clear: open up AI access or face a public backlash.
