Your next iPad or iPhone may be incredibly powerful and energy efficient. Texas Instruments and ARM have joined forces to collaborate on the next generation of ARM Cortex A-series processors--code named Eagle. Though both companies are keeping their lips sealed about the inner workings of the chip, the two hope that they can raise the bar for the next iteration of mobile processors.
“TI and ARM have a long history of collaboration and exchanging technical ideas to develop and define innovative technologies,” said Mike Inglis, EVP and GM of ARM. “Together, we’re finding new ways to bridge the gap between performance and power requirements, as is evident with our joint work on the next-generation Cortex-A series processor core’s definition. We look forward to seeing TI come to market with game-changing solutions that place ARM’s new processor core at the heart of tomorrow’s consumer-focused smart mobile products.”
The two companies began working together more than 15 years ago. There's no doubt that the next processor to fuel our iOS devices will be a powerful one.
