ARM furthers its "cover the earth" strategy with introduction of R5 and R7 core variants for fast, real-time, deterministic SoC applications
Not at all content to be the world’s largest supplier of processor IP, ARM took steps last week to ensure an ever-expanding universe of ARM-powered SoCs by introducing two new cores in its R series processor cores targeting real-time apps (that’s what the “R” stands for). The R series ARM processors, including the previously announced R4 and the new R5 and R7 MPCore processors, sport features designed to enhance their use in real-time embedded applications such as automotive products, mass-storage peripherals, industrial controls, and baseband control for 3G and 4G cellular telephony and other wireless markets. The announcement for the R-series ARM processors emphasizes real-time and deterministic performance, which sets the R series apart from the other, larger A-series cores in the ARM stable that have been designed as big, general-purpose apps-execution engines.
