When ARM Holdings executives announced a new chip called Eagle, they couldn’t exactly say it has landed. But they weren’t shy about suggesting that the fledgling design could help the British company eventually fly into some new markets. Unlike rivals such as Intel, ARM doesn’t turn its creations into products. Rather it licenses the equivalent of technology recipes to manufacturers, which add their own ingredients and cook up chips for a wide array of applications.
