AppliedMicro Announces Sampling of HeliX 2 Embedded Processor Solutions
January 27 2015 - 8:00AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) today announced
the sampling of its 28-nanometer HeliXTM 2 embedded processor
system-on-a-chip products. Launched in October 2014, AppliedMicro's
HeliX™ family represents the first commercially available embedded
processor SoCs based on the ARMv8-A 64-bit architecture.
HeliX 2's class-defining multicore 64-bit ARM®-based CPUs offer
customers a substantial improvement over previous MIPS- and
PowerPC-based embedded solutions. Energy Star compliant, 28nm HeliX
2 solutions range from two-core, 1.2 GHz SoCs supporting fanless
systems, to four-core, 2.0 GHz SoCs driving enterprise-class
networking and control plane applications.
Like HeliX, HeliX 2 supports 10Gb Ethernet, enterprise-class
reliability, availability and serviceability, hardware
virtualization, high performance cryptographic and RAID offloads,
and robust I/O including USB 3.0, PCIe Gen3 and SATA.
"Our HeliX family of embedded products is at the forefront of a
major inflection point as customer demand for performance per watt
with ample connectivity accelerates the transition to ARM 64-bit
architecture," said Paramesh Gopi, AppliedMicro CEO. "With HeliX in
production and HeliX 2 sampling to major OEMs, we have achieved an
important milestone toward revitalizing our base business with new
products based on ARM 64-bit architecture."
Developer kits are available later this quarter. Visit our booth
at Embedded World Conference 2015, Nuremberg, Germany, Feb. 24 –
26, 2015.
