Production Availability, TILE64™ Processor

Published Wed, 2008-05-07 15:04 CPU

The TILE64 processor, from Tilera Corporation, has passed through full qualification and is now available in production. The TILE64 processor delivers the highest performance available for the embedded processor space and leads the industry in power-performance density and ease of programming.

The TILE64 processor is available in three device models: The standard 700MHz device; a low-voltage, low-power 500MHz version; and a high-performance 866MHz part. All of these devices offer system-on-a-chip capabilities with integrated memory controllers and rich I/O including PCI Express and multiple 1 and 10 gigabit Ethernet interfaces to save on cost and printed circuit board real estate. Sampling since July 2007, the TILE64 processor has been designed into multiple networking and multimedia platforms.

"With the TILE64 processor available in production, our customers can implement the highest performance multicore processor in their designs with confidence," said Nagaraj Murthy, VP of Operations, Tilera Corporation. "This processor enables new product features and performance levels within existing power, cooling and price targets."

TILE64™ Processor Tilera holds 40-plus patents pending and a significant lead over other processor and DSP companies who are only now recognizing a need to adopt a similar multicore approach.

Processor Specifications, TILE64™ The cores are overlaid with the iMesh network, which provides extremely low-latency, high bandwidth communications between the cores, memory and the I/O.

The Multicore Development Environment™ (MDE) The MDE also provides innovative, graphically-driven tools for debugging and profiling multicore processors, and an application level library that provides lightweight socket-like stream communication mechanisms.

450mm Wafers Manufacturing Collaboration Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics and TSMC have reached an agreement on the need for industry-wide collaboration to target a transition to larger, 450mm-sized wafers starting in 2012. The transition to larger wafers will enable continued growth of the semiconductor industry and helps maintain a reasonable cost structure for future integrated circuit manufacturing and applications. The companies will cooperate with the semiconductor industry to help ensure that all of the required components, infrastructure and capability are developed and tested for a pilot line by this target date.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Developement Agreement International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) and Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., have signed a unique, four-year agreement to jointly develop new manufacturing materials and processes that will enable the next generation of semiconductor technology for 32nm and beyond. The agreement marks the first time Matheson Tri-Gas/Taiyo Nippon Sanso and IBM have collaborated on semiconductor technology.
Three New AMD Phenom™ X3 Triple-Core Processors AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced the availability of three new AMD Phenom™ X3 triple-core processors that, when combined with the AMD 780 series chipset, can give users a full HD experience and visually stunning gaming and digital performance. The proliferation of digital media devices and entertainment changes the way consumers use PCs and creates stronger demand on the processing and graphics capabilities. Two of the biggest determinants of the user experience when purchasing a PC are graphics and processors, with consumers weighing trade-offs. The AMD solution-based PCs offers balanced platforms that enable the Ultimate Visual Experience complete with scalability.
High-K/Metal Gate, HKMG Technology IBM (NYSE: IBM) and its joint development partners – Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. (Chartered), Freescale Inc. , Infineon Technologies AG, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung), STMicroelectronics N.V. and Toshiba Corporation – have collectively demonstrated significant performance and power consumption advantages over industry standards by using a breakthrough material known as "high-k/metal gate” (HKMG) on silicon manufactured at IBM's 300 millimeter (mm) semiconductor fabrication facility in East Fishkill, N.Y. With this achievement the joint development partners are now ready for early customer engagements. Clients may now design in this leading edge, low power foundry technology in order to help speed time-to-market and help realize power-performance advantage for their products.
New Intel® Atom™ Processors Intel Corporation today introduced five new Intel® Atom™ processors and Intel Centrino® Atom™ processor technology for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and embedded computing solutions. The technology package includes the Intel® Atom™ processor (formerly codenamed "Silverthorne") plus a single-chip with integrated graphics called the Intel® System Controller Hub that enables PC-like capabilities in smaller devices that can fit in your pocket. Manufacturers around the world are planning to ship Intel-based MIDs beginning this summer.
