Mass production will be handled by contract manufacturers and is expected to start in the autumn of 2025, Nikkei Asia said.
Arm will pay for initial development costs, which may total hundreds of billions of yen, with SoftBank also contributing, the report said. Once a mass-production system is established, the AI chip business could be spun off and placed under SoftBank, the newspaper said, adding that SoftBank is already negotiating with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp market, where operators are looking to build their own chips to power new AI models and reduce their reliance on dominant supplier Nvidia

Investors are eagerly awaiting clues about new growth investments as the company has ample liquidity and can monetise its huge holding in Arm, whose share price roughly doubled in February on excitement over AI.
