Haas: Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Backed Arm's Physical Chip Strategy
“So whether it was Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, All people who build ARM-based server chips, they were all on board, and I think the ultimate proof point was when we announced the product last March, we had Jensen, we had Ronnie Boker, we had Amin, we had…”
Haas: AI Could Automate Simple Chip Design to GDSII in 5+ Years
“I don't know if it's in two to three years away, but five plus years, can you go from idea to a GDS two file being the file that you actually send to the fab to go get built. For certain designs, quite possible. So it takes that whole design piece out of the w…”
Haas: AI Won't Push-Button Design Frontier Chips Outperforming Leading Architectures
“Now, if you go into the tool and say, design me something that's 10% faster than Vera Rubin, 20% cheaper, and 30% more efficient on this model, You're not gonna get press a button and have it happen right away.”
Arm CEO Rene Haas: AI chip supply constraints will last 3–5+ years
“That's not going to stop in 12 months. It's not going to stop in 24 months. I think we're going to be in this constrained environment for Three to five years at least.”
Haas: AI compute capacity is not even close to oversupplying demand
“The bubble in terms of, are we over oversupply to demand? Not even close. And I think again, that's because the demand is insatiable.”
Haas: Edge AI Will Be a Sweet Spot for Arm Architecture
“And in fact, as you get to the smaller footprints, where more and more AI is going to take place, that's going to be a sweet spot for Arm, because the CPU's table stakes anyway, you have to have it to do all the things that are required in the edge device. But…”
Haas: Arm is considering expanding beyond its traditional IP licensing model
“I hinted in the last conference call that we're looking at going a little bit further than we do today.”
Haas: Physical AI chip market will surpass data center volume
“Yeah, I think so because I think they're gonna, today, they largely use repurposed automotive chips, right? Things that have functional safety compliance around ADAS, but they're not specific for actuators or specific for smaller parts of the joint. So, physic…”
Haas: TSMC's compounding manufacturing advantage makes catching up nearly impossible
“Once you fall behind in chips, it's very, very difficult to catch up because the cycle gets on top of you. TSMC now has the best fabs in the world. The leading edge companies, Apple, Nvidia, AMD, they all build a TSMC. TSMC gets better at what they're building…”
Haas: Rare earth supply bottleneck is refining capacity, not raw minerals
“The access for the minerals are global. There's no issue in getting access to materials. The issue is in the refinement and actually building the factories that can refine the materials.”
Haas: US has lost muscle memory for 24/7 semiconductor manufacturing
“TSMC is a twenty-four-seven operation where if a line goes down or a customer's got a problem, not only are the technicians need to be ready to go, the engineers need to be ready to go, and that is something that, ah, I think we've lost the muscle memory insid…”
Haas: Restricting chip access will force foreign nations to build parallel ecosystems
“If you shut off supply of a computing architecture into other parts of the world, what will happen? Certain parts of the world that have the capabilities, either in terms of people, technology innovation, they will find a way and they will find a way around, a…”
Haas: Energy Needs for AGI Exceed Big Tech Balance Sheets
“Get access to so much energy that's needed, we think, to drive AGI and ASI at numbers that are even well beyond the balance sheets of the giant Companies like a Microsoft, a Google, a Meta, an AWS, et cetera, an Amazon.”
Haas: Arm now directly sources wafers and substrates for its own chip
“We also introduced our first product last March, the one you just mentioned at Hotchips, the Army GI CPU. So now we're in that soup ourselves from the standpoint of we're also having to figure out how to buy substrates and buy wafers and buy memory, et cetera.”
Haas: Meta Partnered with Arm to Build Its Agentic CPU
“So Meta was that first example. They wanted a general purpose agentic CPU. There wasn't anybody out who could give, give it to them. They came to us and said Hey, why don't we do this together? And that's how we got into it.”
Haas: Physical data center construction will be next AI compute bottleneck
“I think building out the data centers is, is going to be a bottleneck.”
Haas: SoftBank announced SoftBank Neo to become a neocloud provider
“We just announced, we being SoftBank SoftBank Neo which is our intent to become a Neo cloud.”
Rene Haas: Robots will easily replace human labor in construction, service, and security
“Where a lot of things will ultimately be done by robots construction, infrastructure, service, security. You know, right now you see a lot of stuff on Instagram or TikTok of Olympic races with robots, et cetera. I don't think anyone's gonna have any interest I…”
Haas: Most humanoid robot brains currently run on Arm architecture
“Today, whether it's NVIDIA or some of the work that Qualcomm does, most of the brains that you see in the humanoids, those are all, all running on ARM today.”
Haas: The US-China tech race is an infinite game with no final winner
“You know, my personal view is that it's an infinite game, I believe, first in terms of the race, that there's not going to be a winner, the race is going to be over, but you could get to a situation where a lot of the critical technologies are not U.S. Based, …”
Haas rejects claims that automated data centers fail to create jobs
“People look at data centers and say, oh, it's a big Costco box, and there's two parking, two cars in the parking lot, and all of that is being driven automatically, so there's no jobs. I call BS on that because if you think about whether it's around energy, Li…”
Haas: Demand for CPUs Will Remain Huge Alongside AI Accelerators
“So until something's invented that says the CPU has gone away and we're now doing it through some other mechanism, which has yet been defined or invented. The CPU is gonna be doing just fine and there's gonna be a lot of demand for it, a ton of demand, in addi…”
Haas: Intel competition drove Nvidia's early pivot to Arm architecture
“That was the genesis of starting to pivot to ARM in a very big way inside NVIDIA, because at that time, Jensen looked at what was going on with SoCs and ARM-based architecture and moved everybody on to the SoC program.”
Haas: China's software ecosystem still mirrors Western platform standards
“Now today the China ecosystem actually follows the global ecosystem which is good from the standpoint that every mobile phone in China, it doesn't run Google Android, but it runs a version of Android, and it leverages the app ecosystem that comes off of Androi…”
