This is the Marvell powered Stanford’s Mobile Inquiry Based Learning Environment (SMILE), it’s an ARM Powered Plug Server and WiFi hotspot for classrooms around the world. One of these can support up to 60 devices over WiFi, synchronize all learning data and server school exercises.
TSMC talks about 10nm and the upcoming technologies that they are implementing with their customers to fabricate newer faster ARM processors for everyone.
AMD has announced that they are launching a new ARM Cortex-A57 64bit ARMv8 Processor in 2014, targetted for the servers market. This is an interview with Andrew Feldman, VP and GM of Data Center Server Solutions Group at AMD. Do you have any more questions you may want to ask AMD about the release of their first ARM Processor? Let me know in the comments, and I can try to ask them again here at ARM Techcon in Santa Clara during the next couple of days.
“The insatiable need for functional and feature integration on to Mobile SoCs, coupled with ever increasing performance demands has challenged the Foundries and Fabless Semiconductor companies alike. While the diminishing geometries of the process technologies have kept pace to address this challenge, the solutions for leakage power dissipation continued to fall behind threatening to thwart the advances in Mobility. The ground-breaking FinFET technology is the right low-power solution and will serve as an inflection point to further enable SoC-level integration and technological advances in this exciting era of Extreme Mobility. The panel will discuss how the next generation of FinFET technology will change the mobile revolution again.”

Talking about the fabrication of ARM Processors, from 28/32nm HKMG to 20nm to upcoming FinFET 14nm process technologies with Subramani Kengeri, Vice President, Technology Architecture, Office of the CTO, Paul Colestock, Director, Strategic Marketing and Srinivas Nori, Director, Marketing, SoC Innovation at GlobalFoundries at ARM Techcon 2012.
Calxeda’s VP of Marketing Karl Freund talks about the status of Calxeda’s ARM Powered server solutions and how they are launching their upcoming ARM Cortex-A15 32bit and then ARM Cortex-A57 32/64bit processors, what type of markets they expect to reach in the months and years to come.
Cadence talks about some of their latest EDA solutions at ARM Techcon 2012 including the implementation of a 14nm Cortex-M0 processor in collaboration with IBM.
Check back for my full video recording of this mornings ARM keynote filmed here at ARM Techcon 2012 in Santa Clara. Let me know what kinds of questions you would like me to ask them on video.
Here’s my overview video showing some of the latest best value 7″ Android tablets that I have found in Shenzhen on this trip. At least the samples that I was able to buy. $40 A13 800×480, $65 RK3066 1024×600, $80 NS115 1024×600 IPS, and there’s also the sub-$50 VIA 8850 (which can run a Windows RT clone UI on top of Android), and I compare these with the $199 Kindle Fire HD.
Here’s my overview video of the latest ARM Powered HDMI Sticks that I have found in Shenzhen China, including the $30 Allwinner A10 single-core ARM Cortex-A8, $40 Rockchip RK3066 dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, $89 Freescale i.MX6 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 and the $150 HiMedia Q5 HiSilicon Hi3716C single-core ARM Cortex-A9 Set-top-box running the interesting HiControl Android application for remote controlling, mouse and mirroring support from any Android tablet and phone to your HiMedia set-top-box.
Here’s a sample recorded in 1080p using the new Nikon 1 J2 camera in 1080p Fine quality mode. This camera does not support external shotgun microphone input, but Nikon has a slightly larger device that does support an external microphone.
Traveling shot through a part of the huge smartphones and tablet markets at the Huaqiangbei consumer electronics market street in Shenzhen China. These are parts of my favorite areas that I have yet found on the Shenzhen Huaqiangbei electronics market street.
These ARM Powered laptops are really cool, you get a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 VIA 8850 processor with Mali-400 GPU, the form factor is the basic open mold for these types of laptops, now let’s just get Chrome OS on ARM to run on these, as well as Ubuntu on Android and perhaps even Windows RT eventually.
Here’s another look at the latest range of MediaTek MT6577 dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 phones on the Shenzhen market. Some Samsung copies, some HTC and there’s an iPhone5 clone on MT6575 too.
Nufront comes to the market with a good looking dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor in this tablet without HDMI, perhaps to optimize the pricing of thin, light and powerful dual-core 7″ tablets, here in a very nice thin, light 7″ IPS design, with small bezels, the 7″ tablet looks to be high quality and is being sold for below $81 in bulk. I bought a sample that I can video-review, let me know what I should test on it. Next time I go to Shenzhen, I can maybe visit the factory that makes them to film a new video there.
