WHAT: ARM today announced the availability of a power-optimized dual-core hard macro implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A15 processor. The ARM Cortex-A15 implementation provides exceptional power efficiency and is capable of delivering up to 10,000 DMIPS within a constrained mobile power envelope.

The ARM Cortex-A15 hard macro development is the result of the unique synergy arising from the combination of ARM Cortex processor IP, Artisan® physical IP, CoreLink™ systems IP and ARM’s integration capabilities, and utilizes TSMC’s 28nm HPM process. The complete low leakage implementation features integrated NEON™ SIMD technology and a floating point engine, and includes a 1MB level 2 cache to deliver an extremely competitive balance of performance and power. It is ideal for a wide range of power-sensitive handheld devices such as mobile phones and tablets. This dual-core hard macro was implemented using ARM Artisan 9-track libraries and incorporates ARM POP™ Technology for the Cortex-A15 on TSMC’s 28nm HPM process.

WHY: The Cortex-A15 processor delivers up to twice the performance of smartphones based on the Cortex-A9 processor, bringing a level of performance once only seen in laptops into low-power SoC solutions. The dual-core hard macro accelerates time to market for semiconductor companies wanting to benefit from the most advanced processor technology available.

This Cortex-A15 implementation is an ideal solution for designers of big.LITTLE™ processing systems as it can be paired with a dual- or quad-core Cortex-A7 processor, simplifying the design process and enabling a faster time to market.

This hard macro is ideal for designers looking for a cost-effective, highly power-efficient Cortex-A15 dual-core solution for mobile applications, and also devices such as single board computers that are used across a wide array of end-markets. It is an important addition to the ARM hard macro portfolio and will enable a wider array of partners seeking to leverage the outstanding capabilities of the Cortex-A15 processor.
