ARM releases guide to enable 2GHz Cortex-A9 manufacturing

ARM has begun offering a Processor Optimization Pack (POP) specifically for Cortex-A9-based SoCs that are manufactured in 28 nm at Globalfoundries fabs. The POP enables chips that run at a minimum of 1 to 1.6 GHz and 2 GHz in a “typical” scenario. “As consumer demand for high-performance, energy-efficient mobile devices increases, Globalfoundries and ARM are lowering the risk for customers by delivering optimized Cortex-A9 cores on a proven 28 nm SoC process,” said Kevin Meyer, vice president at Globalfoundries, in a prepared statement.
