ARM, Chartered Semiconductor, IBM and Samsung have begun a joint project

Companies ARM, Chartered Semiconductor, IBM and Samsung have reported that they would develop a new 32-nm processor SoC (System-on-a-Chip). It is based technology will form high-k metal-gate (HKMG) - dielectrics with high dielectric constant and metal closures. The joint project of four companies called Common Platform. The new processors are designed for different devices, portable electronics (mobile phones, players, etc.). They will not be the same performance and low power consumption.



The company ARM will develop and license for the Common Platform components of physical intellectual property, including logic, memory, interfaces, etc. The experience of other project participants, of course, also useful. When the new processors will appear on the market has not yet reported.
