Core Technologies acquires multiple ARM IP licenses

ARM recently announced that Lianxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Lianxin") has licensed ARM Cortex-A9 including ARM Cortex-A9 multi-core processor, Mali-400 MP GPU (graphics processing unit) and TSMC 40LP process technology. A series of ARM IP including PeRFormance Optimization Pack. Lianxin Technology will integrate an application processor based on ARM CPU and GPU on its own baseband chip, aiming at the high-end smart phone of China's 3G standard TD-SCDMA.

Lianxin Technology chose ARM because of its rich IP series and its long-term acceptance in the mobile market. As an ARM partner, Corecore can also benefit from the ARM Connected Community. The ARM Connected Community is a global enterprise network where companies can access a wide range of resources and work together to provide the industry's best solution based on the ARM architecture.

In conjunction with ARM IP, Corecore will be able to provide integrated solutions optimized for applications and processors. This includes lowering memory bandwidth while achieving higher performance and lower power consumption, for example in high-end smartphones. More efficient data sharing on smart systems.

The ARM Cortex-A9 processor provides market-leading performance and power efficiency and is an ideal solution for low-power or high-performance design requirements for thermally-sensitive, cost-sensitive devices.

The Mali-400 MP is the world's first embedded multicore GPU that complies with the OpenGL ES 2.0 standard. It can provide 2D and 3D acceleration up to 1080p resolution while maintaining ARM's leading edge in power consumption and bandwidth efficiency.

The ARM Cortex-A9 processor optimization package (POP) provides a highly optimized basis for low-power mobile applications using the Cortex-A9 processor. Based on ARM Artisan optimization logic and storage physical IP, POP is also supported by implementation experience and ARM benchmarks, providing efficient and powerful protection for leading SoC design.
