According to ARC, the deal brings key benefits to Intel’s SoC developers, including the ability to reduce power consumption and increase a chipset’s performance by adding custom instruction extensions.
Carl Schlachte, ARC’s president and ceo, pictured, said: “This is a landmark announcement for ARC. We are honoured by Intel’s adoption of the company’s configurable products.”
Jim McGregor, In-Stat’s principal analyst and research director for enabling technologies, said: “By combining ARC processor based wireless broadband solutions with low power x86 processors, Intel is underscoring its commitment to achieving flexible and power efficient solutions through heterogeneous multicore platforms.”
