ARM 2GHz Cortex-A9 Dual Core Processor
ARM today announced a faster processor, in hope that it might well find its way into mobile internet devices and netbooks. The Cortex-A9 MPCore processor is built using 40nm fabrication process, and boast of higher clock speed of 2GHz. The Cortex-A9 power-optimized hard macro implementation delivers its peak performance of 4000 DMIPS while consuming less than 250mW per CPU when selected from typical silicon.
Both ARM dual core Cortex-A9 hard macros will share a common seven-power domain, dual-NEON technology configuration supporting SMP (symmetrical multiprocessing) operating systems with up to 8MB of Level2 cache memory and will be delivered with all scripts, vectors and libraries required to integrate the macro directly within any SoC device.
