Samsung Orion dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip spotted in the wild

By Sean Hollister | Published: November 12, 2010

We know it’s a little tough to get excited about a chip, even if that chip is the hotly anticipated Samsung Orion. Still, bear with us, because this isn’t your average slab of cellphone silicon — the Orion’s got a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and…

Globalfoundries takes ARM Cortex-A9 into 28nm land, looks forward to 20nm chips in 2013

By Vlad Savov | Published: September 2, 2010

Forget the numbers, here’s what matters: Globalfoundries’ new production capabilities will lead to “smooth production ramp-ups and faster time-to-market” for its customers. Now consider that this promise relates to scrumptious 28nm Cortex-A9 SOCs and …

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…

Direct Insight debuts SODIMM-sized, ARM-based computer-on-a-module

By Donald Melanson | Published: December 6, 2009

Well, it may not exactly be the computer everyone’s been pining for, but those that have dreamed of an ARM Cortex-A8-based computer on a SODIMM module now finally one to call their own. That comes in the form of Direct Insight’s new TRITON-TX51, which outdoes the Nokia N900 with an 800MHz Cortex-A8 processor, along with Freescale’s i.MX515 system-on-a-chip, 128MB DDR400 RAM, 128MB of NAND flash, and a touchscreen controller that can drive screens at resolutions up to 1,280 x 768. You’ll also get some other things nice to have on a computer like a 10/100 ethernet controller and a USB 2.0 interface, and even a reasonably capable PowerVR graphics engine that can do OpenGL ES 2.0 and hardware 720p decoding for MPEG-4/H264 video. Look for this one to land sometime next month for €150 (or just over $220).
