ARM plus Globalfoundries partner up for 28nm Cortex-A9 SOCs, invitation great expectations

About that one slipped the web throughout the thrill which was once MWC this year, less than it has such a promising development that we have a tendency to actually be afflicted by got to provides it its due a spotlight. ARM plus Globalfoundries have announced plans to get started building new systems-on-chip employing the latter's ultramodern 28nm high-k metal gate production process, allowing for the consequent chips offering up to Forty percent greater computational power, Thirty percent greater power efficiency, and a terrific Hundred percent improvement in battery longevity relative to his or her current-gen siblings. Mass production up of these Cortex-A9-based units could be anticipated during the 2nd one half of 2010, that suggests that they are meant to be among the initial actual chips off Globalfoundries' 28nm assembly line. The excellent news, though, is therefore the technology is described though "ready for high-volume implementation," thus as to hand ought to be no shortages after situations ultimately get rolling. Let the wild-eyed anticipation begin.
