ARM has announced a high performance, power optimised quad core hard macro implementation of its Cortex-A15 MPCore processor targeted at TSMC's 28HPM process. The hard macro, which is designed to run at 2GHz, is said to deliver a performance in excess of 20,000DMIPS, while maintaining the power efficiency of the Cortex-A9 hard macro.

ARM has expanded its range of Processor Optimization Packs (POPs) for TSMC's 28 and 40nm process technologies. According to the company, 'at least nine' POP configurations – targeting Cortex-A5, A7, A9 and A15 processor cores – will be released.
A POP comprises three elements necessary to achieve an optimized ARM core implementation. First, it contains ARM Artisan Physical IP logic libraries and memory instances tuned specifically for a given ARM core and process technology. Second, it includes a benchmarking report to document the exact conditions and results ARM achieved for the core implementation. Finally, it includes a Implementation Guide that details the methodology used to achieve the result, to enable the end customer to achieve the same implementation quickly and at low risk.
