In 2014, ARM processors will run at 3 GHz

Companies semiconductor manufacturers TSMC and GlobalFoundries are planning to increase the productivity of mobile processors in 2014. At the moment they are in the development of chipsets made ​​on 20-nanometer technology, which will become the new generation of ARM-processors. At the moment, the most "fast" processor for mobile devices, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, made ​​on 28-nanometer technology and has a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz. The same rate will have Nvidia Tegra 4i. Devices based on these chipsets are expected in late 2013 or early 2014. But using 20-nanometer technology will significantly increase the clock speed. use 20-nanometer process technology, is expected to provide an increase clock speed by 30%, combined with an increase in density of 1.9 and a 25% reduction in energy consumption. When using such processors, ARM system can be used on-chip clock to 3 GHz and have a large number of transistors which are loaded graphics processing. Reduced to a quarter of the energy consumption should give rise runtime, or to provide the same, but with a decrease in battery capacity. Improvement of all indicators should have a positive impact on the positions of ARM-chips in the fight against x86 processors offered by Intel and AMD.
