Processor ARM Cortex-A9, manufactured by TSMC 28 nm standards, working under normal conditions at a frequency of 3.1 GHz

According to the company TSMC, test dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, manufactured using 28 nanometer process technology, 28HPM, demonstrated the work at 3.1 GHz, "in typical conditions."

Fabrication process HPM, optimized by the criterion of performance and is designed for the production of chips for mobile devices. In other words, it allows you to combine high performance and low power consumption (reduced leakage currents).

Making a test chip is part of an effort TSMC, whose purpose is to demonstrate the capabilities of single-chip systems, produced at each level of technology development.

According to TSMC, 28-nanometer processor, clocked at 3.1 GHz, twice the performance of a similar product made by TSMC 40-nanometer process technology.
