ARM Cortex-A9 SMP Design Announced
September 17, 2009
ARM just announced a couple of 2-core SMP design based upon the Cortex-A9 application processor, one optimized for performance and the other for power consumption. Although the optimization points are different, both are incredibly low power consumers by server standards with the performance-optimized part dissipating only 1.9W at 2Ghz based upon the TSMC 40G process (40nm). This design is aimed at server applications and should be able to run many server workloads comfortably.
