Arm Jumps 17% as Meta's Muse Spurs CPU Demand Bets

Summary
Arm rose 17%, Intel 12% and AMD 10% on Monday after Meta's Muse ranked as the top free iPhone app in the U.S. for three straight days.
Muse's early traction fueled bets that agentic AI will lift CPU sales because running assistants relies more on inference, planning and orchestration than model training does.
Meta's reach adds to that thesis: analysts see Muse potentially drawing hundreds of millions of users, supported by the company's 3.6 billion daily active users.
That demand outlook is already being quantified, with Arm projecting the server CPU market will grow 35% annually to $120 billion by 2030 and AMD forecasting 50% annual growth to $220 billion by decade-end.
