ARM said the smart phone will use dual-core processor next year

According to foreign media reports, ARM wireless business manager James Bruce (James Bruce) said recently, ARM will launch dual-core processor next year, Cortex-A9, and MC1595L datasheet and based on which the worlds first dual-core processor will be smart phones in the next year.

Bruce said: "Next year, everyone will see the A9 dual-core processor-based smart phone." Current, Palm Pre ARM A8 processor-based Apple iPhone also based on ARM processor design, and MC1595L price and these are single-core designs.

Bruce said: "A8 is a single-core processor, while the A9 a dual-core, to quad-core development, when the performance of mobile phones will be more powerful." Bruce also said that the transition from single core to dual core is fast Now only a year.

As concerns energy consumption users, as A9 is used in 45-nanometer process, rather than the current 65nm process, so more energy efficient.
