Japanese chipmaker Socionext announces cooperation with TSMC to develop 2nm ARM processor

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens OC_Formula and Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 27 (Xinhua)-- Socionext is the only listed company in Japan responsible for customizing Soc chips. The company claims that "chips will be developed and produced only after receiving an order." the mode of operation is essentially different from that of Nvidia and AMD.

However, the company has announced that it is working with TSMC to develop a 32-core ARM processor, which uses Arm's Neoverse computing subsystem technology and claims to be able to provide 'scalable performance' in very large data centers and next-generation mobile infrastructure, including 5G and 6G.

▲ source Socionext official press release CTOnews.com after inquiry, Neoverse computing subsystem technology is a pre-integrated, pre-validated computing platform, designed to simplify the chip customization process. Chipsets can provide single or multiple "instances" in a single package, as well as to meet IO and specific application needs.

Socionext will use TSMC's 2 nm process and is said to be "seamlessly integrated with customers' existing designs". It is expected to be compatible with other ARM chips.

Socionext also claims that because of the reusability of the chip, it can adapt to a variety of product platforms, and system architects can explore new possibilities, while ARM is said to be "happy to be part of this partnership."
