UK based chip manufacturer ARM has reviled a new processor called Cortex A7. The ARM Cortex A7 MPCore processor is the most efficient application processor ARM has ever developed and dramatically extends ARM’s low-power leadership in future entry level smart phones, tablets and other advanced mobile devices.
This will be very helpful to design cheaper smartphones. The Cortex-A7 processor is a highly energy efficient applications processor designed to enable low-cost, fully featured entry-level smart phones in addition to other low-power applications. As a standalone processor, the Cortex-A7 will enable entry level smartphones at below $100 (below Rs. 5000) price point in the 2013-2014 timeframe that are equivalent to a $500 high-end smarphone in 2010. These entry level smartphones will redefine connectivity and internet usage in the developing world.
Currently the ARM processor used in around 95 percent of smartphones in the world. The architecure and feature set of the Cortex-A7 processor are identical to the Cortex-A15 processor, with differences in the Cortex-A7 processor's microarchitecture focused on providing optimum energy efficiency, enabling the two processors to operate in tandem in a big.LITTLE configuration to provide the ultimate combination of high-performance with ultra low power consumption.
According to Mike Inglis, executive vice president, processor division, ARM, "As smartphones and tablets continue to evolve into users' primary compute device, consumers are demanding performance as well as the always on, always connected service they expect. The challenge for our industry and the ARM ecosystem is how to deliver on this".
The Cortex-A7 processor has been licensed by a large number of the industry's leading silicon manufacturers including Samsung, LG, texas Insturments, Broadcom etc. You can read more about ARM Cortex A7 CPU Here.
