Genuine question, do normal people pronounce ARM as "Arm" (like the limb) as in /ɑːrm/ or /ɑːm/, or do they pronounce it like A.R.M as in each letter individually.

I've always said ARM (as in each individual letter) when talking about ARM processors and it's never even occured to me to pronounce it like Arm.

That being said... I do pronounce RISCV as /rɪsk-viː/ (or, as I believe was the intention rɪsk-faiv depending who I am talking to) and that seemed entirely normal as opposed to pronouncing each letter in the Acronym...

So maybe I'm just weird here...

The company and CPU name has always been pronounced 'arm' like the body part.

My general rule is to pronounced any three letter Capitalised term as individual characters, so A/R/M and S/Q/L.

Since RISC-V is longer I pronounced it the same as you; /rɪsk-viː/, the same as to NASA and NATO.

Yeah, it's pronounced like the limb, and always has been, at least in English-speaking countries. Hence the StrongARM pun.

In English, I usually just say it as the body part. In French, however, I would pronounce every letter separately.
