ARM states new quad-core Cortex-A15 Hard Macro variant

ARM these days declared the option a powerful, power-optimized quad-core hard macro execution of its primary ARM® Cortex™-A15 MPCore™ brand.

The ARM Cortex-A15 MP4 hard macro is designed to run at 2GHz and provides performance in unwanted of 20,000DMIPS, while keeping the performance of the Cortex-A9 hard macro. The Cortex-A15 hard macro progression is the result of the exclusive get together coming up from the mixture of ARM Cortex brand IP, Artisan® physical IP, CoreLink™ systems IP and ARM incorporation features, and uses the TSMC 28HPM procedure.

The low leak execution, presenting incorporated NEON™ SIMD technological innovation and hovering point (VFP), provides an extremely aggressive stability of performance and energy and is perfect for range of high-performance processing programs for such as laptops through to power-efficient, excessive performance-orientated system and business gadgets.

The hard macro was designed using ARM Artist 12-track collections and the lately declared Processor Seo Pack™ (POP) remedy for the Cortex-A15 on TSMC 28nm HPM procedure. This follows the latest statement of a wide package of POPs for all Cortex-A sequence processor snacks (see ARM Increases Processor Seo Load up Alternatives for TSMC 40nm and 28nm Process Versions, Sixteenth Apr 2012)

Full settings and execution information will be provided at the Awesome Chips meeting (18-20 April) in Yokohama, Asia. Further information is included in an associated with weblog.

"For SoC developers looking to make a trade-off between the versatility provided by the conventional RTL-based SoC progression technique and a fast time to market, with guaranteed, benchmarked energy, performance and area, an ARM hard macro execution is an perfect, cost-effective remedy," said Jim Nicholas, v. p. of Marketing, brand department, ARM. "This new Cortex-A15 hard macro is an important addition to our collection and will allow a greater range of lovers to power the excellent features of the Cortex-A15 brand."
