ARM holdings company representatives do not hidden their desire to move these economical processors in the server segment, where fight for the low energy consumption recently was strengthened. Two day ago day the company presented the processors cortex-A15 code name eagle, which will be released on 32 nm and 28 nm technologies nearer to 2013.
In comparison with the present dual core processors cortex-A9 the speed promises to grow by five times, and the energy consumption level will remain as before. The processors cortex-A15 can contain up to four core and work at frequencies up to 2.5 GHz. Of course in one- and dual core configuration, which will be used in mobile devices, these processors will work at the modest frequencies from 1.0 to 1.5 GHz. In telecommunication equipment and server systems these processors can be united in clusters on eight and sixteen cores.
In the server segment cortex-A15 processors obtained a access to one tera-byte of address space and support to virtualization technology . The cache in the first level is divided in two blocks on 32 KB, intended for commands and data respectively. Cache volume (second level) is up to 4 mb and divided between the cores. In the development Of cortex-A15 participated samsung , Texas instruments and ST ericsson, companies they will become the first licensees, who will obtain the processors models in the following year. In the series products the processors with cortex-A15 architecture will be prescribed in 2013. Related Products :
