Analysts and producers foretell the large future of the economical processors with ARM- architecture; therefore, it is necessary to pay the closest attention to the technology production perfection of these processors . ARM holdings company and its partners in the next two years will begin to obtain from Globalfoundries processors, released on 28 nm technology with the use of materials with high value dielectric constant (high- k) and transistors with the metallic lock.
These plans do not prevent ARM holdings from demonstrating the processors models ARM 1176, released on 45 nm technical process with the use of silicon on insulator technology (SOI). This action is called to demonstrate the advantages of technical process with the use of SOI above the technology of processor production on the monolithic base layer (bulk CMOS) with the same 45 nm standards. With equal clock frequencies the first version of technical process is capable to ensure reduction in the energy consumption by 40% and chip areas by 7%. Preserving the advantage in the energy consumption of about 30%, it is possible to attain an increase in the clock frequency by 20%. IBM and partners ARM Clients can already order 45 nm processors, which use technology silicon on insulator. Related Products :
