World’s First 32NM ARM Processor Announced


Approximately one week after Santa Clara, California-based Intel detailed its plans to accelerate the adoption of the 32nm manufacturing technology, chip maker ARM has just announced the introduction of the world’s first ARM processor designed on a 32nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology. The company’s first ever 32nm Cortex family processor core, built with an ARM Physical IP, will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company has also announced that its partners will be able to use the technology for upcoming devices slated for release in early 2010.
“This silicon proof is a key step in our roadmap to demonstrate the technical synergy between leading ARM processors, ARM Physical IP and the Common Platform process technology that delivers best-in-class performance, lowest power consumption and rapid time-to-market,” said Ian Drew, EVP Marketing, ARM. “It also shows that we are fully committed to affording our Partners the earliest possible opportunity to deploy ARM technology, in particular the Cortex-A9 processor and future processors, on the 32/28nm process.”
