GlobalFoundries announce energy-efficient, high-performance processors
Summary
The partnership will combine Efficients novel architecture and technology with GFs U.S.-based manufacturing, global reach and market expertise to enable a quantum leap in edge device capabilities and battery lifetime. Current general-purpose processors are over-designed for generality, with most of their energy consumed by unnecessary internal data movement and instruction control overheads. Efficient is bringing edge computing capabilities to use cases that were previously impossible due to limited energy availability. "Partnering with GlobalFoundries was a natural fit and we are confident that together we will empower the worlds most critical industries to embrace the next evolution of energy efficient computing with ease and reliability." "We are excited to partner with a brilliant team of engineers at Efficient who are bringing a novel approach to processing architecture and setting a new benchmark for energy-efficient computing using GFs 22FDX platform," said Faisal Saleem, Senior Vice President of End-Markets at GF.
