ARM and TSMC Unveil Roadmap for 64-bit ARM-based Processors on 10FinFET Process Technology
02 Octobre 2014 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
ARM® and TSMC today announced a new multi-year agreement that
will deliver ARMv8-A processor IP optimized for TSMC 10FinFET
process technology. Because of the success in scaling from 20SoC to
16FinFET, ARM and TSMC have decided to collaborate again for
10FinFET. This early pathfinding work will provide valuable
learning to enable physical design IP and methodologies in support
of customers to tape-out 10FinFET designs as early as Q4 2015.
“ARM and TSMC are industry leaders in our respective fields and
collectively ensure the availability of leading-edge solutions for
ARM-based SoCs through our deep and long-term collaboration,” said
Pete Hutton, executive vice president and president, product
groups, ARM. “Our mutual commitment to providing industry leading
solutions drives us to work together early in the development cycle
to optimize both the processor and the process node. This joint
optimization enables ARM silicon partners to design, tape-out and
bring their products to market faster.”
TSMC will be applying the learnings from prior generations of
20SoC and 16FinFET in the ARM ecosystem to offer performance and
power improvements at 10FinFET that will be better than previous
nodes. The ARM ecosystem can also take advantage of TSMC’s Open
Innovation Platform® (OIP) which includes a set of ecosystem
interfaces and collaborative components initiated and supported by
TSMC.
“TSMC has continuously been the lead foundry to introduce
advanced process technology for ARM-based SoCs,” said Dr. Cliff
Hou, TSMC vice president of R&D. “Together with ARM, we proved
out in silicon the high performance and low power of the big.LITTLE
architecture as implemented in 16FinFET. Given the successful
adoption of our previous collaborative efforts, it makes sense that
we continue this fruitful partnership with ARM in future 64-bit
cores and 10FinFET.”
The joint innovations from previous TSMC and ARM collaborations
have enabled customers to accelerate their product development
cycles and take advantage of leading-edge processes and IP. Recent
benefits have included early access to ARM Artisan Physical IP and
tape-outs of ARM Cortex®-A53 and Cortex-A57 processors on
16FinFET.
