British processor manufacturer ARM, whose chips are used in most mobile devices, presented at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona cheap multicore processors Sparrow, writes PC Magazine.
The new chip is built on the Cortex A9 microarchitecture, and is intended primarily for netbukov. Cortex A9 is the same set of instructions that the previous architecture Cortex A8, but allows the computing device to have up to four cores.
Computing power of each of the cores in the Cortex A9 at least three times superior to that of processor ARM11, installed in the iPhone and T-Mobile G1. The first devices based on the Sparrow will appear in 2011.
Until now, the market netbukov mainly used by Intel-compatible processors. Operating system for ARM chips will become the operating system kernel on Ubuntu Linux, and Debian. In addition, Cortex A8 and A9 will help greatly reduce the cost netbukov.
The company also introduced the first ARM processor to made on 32-nanometer production methods. In the future it is going to move to 28-nanometer production methods.
ARM - the largest manufacturer of processors for mobile devices. In mid-February the company announced the release of its desyatimilliardnogo chip.
