Customer Endorsements

Open-Silicon

“Our customers have increasingly asked us to provide full-service ARM-based SoC development solutions and ARM-based derivative solutions. Since announcing our expanded relationship with ARM and the creation of our ARM Center of Excellence (CoE), Open-Silicon has added ARM-based software development kits and FPGA prototyping to our existing full ARM SoC system design services,” said Naveed Sherwani, president and CEO, Open-Silicon. “We've also selected ARM POP for power and performance optimization, as an extension to our CoreMAX™ and PowerMAX™ technologies for processor optimization, to enable building the best possible custom ARM solutions.”

Panasonic

“Panasonic licensed the ARM Processor Optimization Pack (POP) to achieve up to 1.4GHz performance for our ARM Cortex-A9 based SoC,” said Masaitsu Nakajima, general manager of Processor Core Technology at Panasonic. “ARM EDA tool support and production-ready physical IP helped accelerate our time-to-market.”

Rockchip

“The tablet market is growing rapidly, and putting greater demands on semiconductor companies to deliver cost-effective solutions that can sustain an ever-increasing level of graphics, video and gaming performance, while still being energy-efficient,” said Feng Chen, chief marketing officer, Rockchip. “The partnership enables us to use proven mobile Internet technologies from ARM and provide a high-performance, low-cost and easy-to-design platform. This turnkey solution is ideal for customers to quickly adopt for their Android-based tablet devices. The combination of the ARM Cortex-A9 processor and the POP has enabled the highest performance with the lowest power in the fastest time possible. Rockchip has been able to deliver a highly efficient processor implementation on a 40nm LP process.”

Spreadtrum

"To achieve our aggressive 1GHz target with the fastest time to market, we chose ARM’s Artisan Cortex-A5 POP and are more than satisfied with the results.” said Dr. Leo Li, president and CEO, Spreadtrum. “ARM’s multi channel standard cells and high density memory compilers delivered lower power, with an area saving, over the competing IP solutions.”

VeriSilicon

“VeriSilicon, a long time ARM partner in design service, completed a comprehensive license agreement that includes Cortex processor family, POP and other ARM IP last year,” commented Dr. Wayne Dai, president and CEO, VeriSilicon. “Our customers of advanced manufacturing processes like 40nm and 28nm desire to work closely with VeriSilicon to balance the power-performance-area of the processor implementation for specific applications. Our SoC platforms and world-class design capability allow us to unleash the performance potential and energy efficiency of ARM processors and provide differentiated custom silicon solutions for a range of consumer markets.”
