Chipset manufacturer ARM is famous for its Cortex A-series of
processors, and today is decided to announce a new addition to the
lineup – a quad-core Cortex-A15 chip. Basically, its purpose it to help
system-on-a-chip manufacturers design their own products in a faster
manner and with lower power use.
How will they do that? Well, by using the company’s new hard
macrocell implementations of the Cortex A-series of processors. Anyway,
it’s no use getting too technical here; the idea is that manufacturers
will be able to get the same power usage as earlier Cortex-A9 chips and
faster turnaround times for their SoCs. This implies a ”balance of
performance and power”, which could easily be used even in notebooks or
other fast network devices.
More details should turn up tomorrow, during the IEEE symposium in Yokohama. The chips in question are expected to start shipping in the end 2012.
