ARM teams with IBM on chips
By Nicole Kobie,
ARM is the latest chipmaker to join forces with IBM on research and development for 32 and 28 nanometer (nm) technology.
ARM, IBM and the others in the group – which includes Chartered and Samsung – are looking to share costs of development of 32nm technology in order to take on market leader Intel.
UK-based ARM will be working on a 32nm and 28nm systems on a chip (SoCs) design platform, developing the logic, memory and interface products for the chipmaking alliance, dubbed the ‘Common Platform.’
“Through this early engagement, we are creating the foundation for designing power-efficient ARM SoCs for customers of the Common Platform,” said Warren East, chief executive of ARM.
“By utilising the strength of our advanced microprocessors, our leadership in Physical IP design and advanced technology supported by the Common Platform, customers can accelerate the release of products for electronic devices that service a broad range of consumer applications.”
