The annual Design Automation Conference (DAC) was held last month, and what a show it was! If you recall, back in February, I talked about TSMC and ARM’s first tape-out with the ARM Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 processors. At DAC, we presented…
Another important milestone was reached recently for TSMC and ARM when the teams taped out at the end of December 2013 (see block diagram) the first 64 bit ARMv8 processors in a big.LITTLE configuration on TSMC’s leading edge manufacturing process…
Taking a major step forward for advanced-node semiconductor design, ARM and Cadence recently (April 4, 2013) announced the first implementation of an ARM® CortexTM-A57 processor on the TSMC 16nm FinFET manufacturing process. Here's a closer look…
