TSMC produces an ARM processor from 3GHz

TSMC , also known as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, reserves some surprises. The last announcement of the company regards the place of positioning a milestone in the history of ARM processors: TSMC has been able to produce a processor, built-process 28Nm , which operates the incredible frequency of 3.1GHz .
 
This processor is a candidate to be the fastest ever produced with the architecture firm of Cambridge, and probably will remain so for quite some time. TSMC has stated that it is a dual core processor architecture with Cortex-A9 (the same as the NVIDIA Tegra 2 and Exynos on the Galaxy S II) and the frequency was "achieved under typical conditions" using a production process called HPM ( h igh p erformance for m obile applications ).
This process has been developed for tablets and other devices for world consumer , and the clearest demonstration of the ability of that process is this CPU. It would be interesting to have benchmarks to see how different are the performance compared to a normal processor operating in the 1-1.5GHz range. As stated by Cliff Hou, vice president of TSMC, "This work shows that ARM and TSMC can meet the market demands for high performance", so it may be permissible to see this line of solutions used in ultra-thin notebooks with ARM processors. I can not wait.
