Yes, some years ago I visited the ARM HQ outside Cambridge, England. It
was a very small building with a few people at computers, with no labs
or chip fab plants. They explained that they make software which people
then use to design microprocessors and so they are several levels away
from actual chip making: <http://www.tomw.net.au/nt/uk.html>.
