ARM tests out TSMC 10FinFET - with two cores
May 26, 2016
About 13 months ago, the leak blogs posted news of “Artemis” on an alleged ARM roadmap slide, supposedly a new 16FF ARM core positioned as the presumptive successor to the Cortex-A57. Now, we’re finding out what “Artemis” may actually be, inside a multi-core PPA test chip on TSMC 10FinFET.
That same leaked slide had two other code names, “Ares” and “Prometheus”, both at 10nm. “Ares” purportedly was in the Cortex-A72 range, in line as the next ARMv8-A server core. “Prometheus” was the 10nm effort in the Cortex-A57 range for mobile. If you read Chapter 10 of “Mobile Unleashed”, you’ll note I didn’t mention any of that even though it was available before publication. Instinct said to wait.
