IDG News Service - Chip maker LSI is hoping to improve networking performance and flexibility with its ARM-based Axxia 4500 processor family, the company announced Monday.
ARM-based processors are best known for powering smartphones and tablets. But the British company's technology will also be used in next-generation switches and routers for enterprises and data centers, if LSI is successful.
The Axxia 4500 processor family are based on up to four ARM Cortex-A15 cores and use ARM's new CoreLink CCN-504 interconnect, which can prioritize time-sensitive traffic and offers up to one terabit of usable system bandwidth per second, according to ARM. The Cortex-A15 is ARM's most powerful processor to date, and is used in products like the Nexus 10 tablet from Google and Samsung Electronics and the Galaxy S4.
