Arm Cortex-A

Large-scale MCMs and novel device architectures bookend the papers on machine learning at VLSI Symposia in an event that will also cover chiplet integration and other topics.

Arm is on the way to making formal a fundamental part of its verification strategy for ARM Cortex-A processors.

A year on from the last Computex and the launch of the Cortex-A73 and Mali-G71, ARM has launched a new trio of processors aimed not just at smartphones this time but servers and driver-assistance systems.

ARM has pulled together a number of forthcoming changes to its Cortex processor and Big-Little cluster architectures under the umbrella title DynamIQ, claiming they will support the increasing use of AI algorithms in servers and embedded control.

HiSilicon has licensed UltraSoC’s semiconductor IP to build into SoCs for system monitoring, analysis, and optimization.

SoftBank cites IoT as its main reason for buying ARM, but could it change the relationship between customers and the processor designer?

A faster implementation program for the POP support IP for ARM's cores has delivered a 16nm finFET package for the Cortex-A73 shortly after the core's Computex launch.

ARM is combining a new high-end 64bit Cortex-A core with a reworked Mali graphics processor to support high-throughput applications such as virtual reality and machine learning.

ARM says it has received test chips designed to check how well an SoC built around a 64bit multicore Cortex v8-A processor complex would work TSMC's upcoming 10nm FinFET process technology.

ARM has gone back to the 32bit realm for its latest Cortex-A processor core, aiming the device at a new generation of low-cost platforms inspired by the success of the Raspberry Pi as well as wearables.
