The new company was established with the primary goal of further developing the ARM microprocessors. In 1993, in addition to VLSI, both [[Sharp]] and [[GEC-Plessey Semiconductor]] (GPS) became licensees of ARM. |

In the early stages of the project, when Apple was evaluating the possible processors they realized they needed an {{intel|486|l=arch}}-class performance. When they evaluated the Acorn {{acorn|ARM3|l=arch}} it met the performance and power characteristics but was not a perfect fit. Apple's biggest criticism was its lack of integrated [[Memory Management Unit]] (MMU). At the time, Acorn Computers simply didn't have the resources to develop one. The formation of ARM Ltd. allowed for an injection of funding sufficient to address those issues and keep the [[ARM]] architecture up-to-date and competitive. |
