IBM, Chartered Semiconductor, Samsung and ARM are to develop 28nm and 32nm SoC design platforms based on the IBM Alliance’s high K metal gate (HKMG) technology.
As part of the agreement, ARM will develop and license a physical IP design, including logic, memory and interface products for distribution to the IBM Alliance’s customers
“Through this early engagement, we are creating the foundation for designing power efficient ARM SoCs for customers of the Common Platform,” said ARM’s ceo Warren East. “By using 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.”
ARM also said it intends to develop customised physical IP targeted at achieving optimal power, performance and area for its current and future Cortex processor family, taking advantage of the Common Platform’s HKMG technology.
