At 3pm on 26th April 1985, the first ARM chip powered up, displaying:
“Hello World, I am ARM.”

From a 25,000-transistor chip running on a #BBCMicro, through #RISC_OS systems, to powering billions of devices today, ARM is a testament to efficient design and innovation.

40 years of innovation!

The ARM chip, born in 1985, changed computing forever - powering everything from early Acorn systems to today's modern #RISC_OS kit.

Four decades of efficiency and a future still being written! Let's go 64bit!

#RISC_OS, the original #ARM OS, still lives on today. From it's inception as the very colourful #Arthur in 1987 to it's future on 64bit chips, RISC OS has always worked on efficient #ARM chips, now including those in the #raspberrypi
