The developer of energy-efficient semiconductor microarchitecture - ARM company - presented architecture Cortex-M7 for performance microcontrollers. According to the developers, in this class of products the new architecture would double the computing performance and double the speed of digital signal processors. To date, this is the most efficient solution for the production of micro-controllers, a license to use which have already received the company Atmel, Freescale and ST Microelectronics. Contrary to fashion, architecture Cortex-M7 remained 32-bit.
Increased productivity opens up broad prospects for microcontroller developers. From now embedded in cars, industrial and home appliances, as well as in other industrial and household devices are capable processors will be on hard calculations, up to the speech recognition.
Architecture ARM Cortex-M7 is qualified for release at TSMC company on 40nm LP-process technology.
