Release date- 06082019 - Intel today announced its next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor family (codename Cooper Lake) will offer customers up to 56 processor cores per socket and built-in AI training acceleration in standard socketed Intel Xeon Scalable processor offerings with availability starting in the first half of 2020.
Sonics was the first company to develop and commercialize NoCs, accelerating volume production of complex systems-on-chip (SoC) that contain multiple processor cores. Sonics holds approximately 150 patent properties supporting customer products that have shipped more than four billion SoCs.
The "Zen" processor core features multiple architectural advances designed to increase the performance, throughput, and efficiency of AMD's future products.
The performance of the new core was boosted by increasing the number of instruction execution pipeline stages to nine, from five in Toshiba's previous processor core. The new core is also optimized for design of high-performance customized processors by integration of a reorder buffer circuit that manages and shortens waiting cycles for user extension instructions.
"As the cost of designing and manufacturing custom chips continues to soar, processor cores optimized for FPGAs have the potential to lure designers away from ASICs and SoCs," said Tom R.
The flexibility and strength of the ARC processor core provides a solid platform for us as we move more deeply into the consumer electronics market," added Douglas A.
According to Bevan Bass, who led the team that designed the chip architectures, said, "Each processor core can run its own small program independently of the others, which is a fundamentally more flexible approach than so-called Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data approaches utilized by processors such as GPUs; the idea is to break an application up into many small pieces, each of which can run in parallel on different processors, enabling high throughput with lower energy use."
(Nasdaq: SNPS), Mountain View, Calif., a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, has announced Android operating system (v2.2 FroYo) support for the DesignWare ARC 750D processor core. The DesignWare ARC 750D host processor, which runs at 1.1 GHz and delivers 1800 DMIPs in an industry standard 40-nanometer (nm) process, is an ideal choice for designers requiring a high-performance, low-power and cost- effective microprocessor to drive Android-based applications.
