Perhaps the biggest news of the day was a statement of Intel Intent to provide ARM customers with manufacturing facilities for the production of 10-nm products developed using Artisan platform. That is, Intel does not just provide their facilities for contract manufacturing of processors with ARM architecture, but also help them to adapt to their own technological capabilities.
ARM representatives commented on the event reserved, recalling that Intel and ARM have long been partners, but voiced agreement takes the relationship to a new level. Now all contract manufacturers of semiconductor products in the world provide services for the production of processors with ARM architecture. It is expected that the first ARM clients instruct release of certain Intel processors with two Cortex-A cores for mobile use, as in the arrangement big.LITTLE, and in a simpler version. And when you consider that Intel welcomes among its clients Korean company LG Electronics, which will order the release of mobile processors with 10-nm process technology, and wonder about the first name of the client will not have to.
It is noteworthy that for the first time Intel has opened access to its production capacity more third-party developers as part of a 22-nm process technology. Now Altera and Spreadtrum using 14-nm process technology by Intel. More addition, Intel Developer swallowed the Altera programmable matrices, it is going to firmly integrate the products with their processors, and the company enjoys good conditions for cooperation. ARM is confident that the partnership with Intel - it's a long time.
