One can split hairs about the corporate responsibility, but I personally bought a VLSI ARM chip in the 90s. VLSI were one of the original 3 partners (along with Apple and Acorn) who owned the newly formed ARM corp and were the first to produce them (for Apple).

They made the Morello research CPUs, but did not sell them.
The Acorn/Arm history is somewhat complicated due to the Arm IPO, I think.
