ARM and TSMC team up for tinier 20nm Cortex SOCs

By Sean Hollister | Published: July 21, 2010

It’s no secret that ARM ideas are powering much of the mobile revolution these days, but the company doesn’t print its own systems-on-a-chip, that duty gets outsourced to silicon foundries — like TSMC, who just got all buddy-buddy with the firm to tra…

Samsung’s ARM roadmap lays coordinates through 2013: Aquila, Venus, and Draco (oh my)

By Ross Miller | Published: April 24, 2010

Ah, leaked company presentation slides, they have a clarity only Mr. Blurrycam would despise. EETimes got a batch of them from Samsung dated November 2009 making the rounds, but more important than revealing its equal love for both Roman and Greek myt…
