22/06/1999 13:01:20 Arm Holdings : Licensing deal with Lucent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group and Arm announce that Lucent has licensed the high-performance ARM10T microprocessor core technology from Arm. Lucent will also serve as a lead silicon partner for the ARMr core's introduction. Lucent will integrate the 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) embedded ARM10 processor core into its system-on-a-chip (SoC) portfolio to power communications applications. As a lead partner for the ARM10 core, Lucent will be the first integrated circuit provider to receive ARM10 core design data for fabrication into silicon solutions. The first chips will be included on evaluation boards that Arm intends to begin shipping to current and potential partners in the fourth quarter of 1999. The first ARM10 cores produced by Lucent will deliver nearly twice the performance of their predecessors. The new design includes a six-stage pipeline, a new high-performance bus, a 32 kilobyte instruction cache and a 32 kilobyte data cache. Lucent will fabricate its first ARM10 cores in the company's COM-1 (0.25 micron drawn) modular CMOS process, and will migrate the cores to the COM-2 (0.16 micron drawn) process in the year 2000. The design is especially suitable for SoCs that incorporate Lucent's digital signal processor cores. And, the core's performance in Lucent's 0.16-micron technology is targeted to process more than 500 MIPS (million instructions per second) at 1.5 volts, while consuming less than one watt of power. Lucent's Microelectronics Group designs and manufactures integrated circuits and optoelectronic components for the computer and communications industries. ICV Edited News END
