Intel and Arm partnership: A revolution with mobile chipset
Intel and Arm has announced that they will be in a partnership. Here is what we know so far.
Intel unveiled a significant partnership. Intel and Arm has announced that they will work together on mobile chipset development. The partnership is quite important in a sense that it would enable the creation of low-power SoC using its 18A technology.
As Intel announces the partnership will initially concentrate on designing mobile chipsets with Arm-based CPU cores before advancing to applications in the automotive, Internet of Things, data center, aerospace, and government.
Intel and Arm to collaborate on mobile chipset development
According to Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel Corporation, this "multigeneration agreement" will give businesses intending to leverage next-generation process technology more options and strategies. While Arm is providing a design technology co-optimization Intel will provide the foundry enabling chip designers to actually manufacture those chips.
The announcement is a component of Intel's IDM 2.0 plan, which calls for significant investments in manufacturing capacity increases across the globe, including those in the US and the EU. Intel 18A process uses 1.8 nm technology. Angstrom, also known as one-ten billionth of a meter or one hundred millionth of a centimeter, is a metric length unit that is one step smaller than the nanometre. By adopting such technology, it is declared that future SoCs will be even smaller and have an even higher transistor density.
