ARM sells for an arm and a leg
 

The decision to sell ARM to SoftBank for £24.3 billion has been deprecated by its founder, Hermann Hauser, but praised by the new British prime minister, Theresa May.

ARM span out of Acorn in 1990 as a lean and mean team that designed but never manufactured microprocessors.

Its designs were good and gave smartphone companies like Apple and Samsung a way to license the technology without being in the arms of a monopolistic giant like the American firm Intel.
