ARM Cortex-R8 paves way to LTE-Advanced Pro and 5G-February 22, 2016 |
On Thursday 18th February we announced the latest real-time processor IP, the ARM® Cortex®-R8. Cortex-R8 is a quad-core high-performance real-time processor, building on the R profile ARMv7-R architecture, already firmly established by Cortex-R4, R5 and R7.
With Cortex-R8 we’re delivering increased performance and introducing new features to meet the demands of next-generation storage device controllers and mobile communications with a particular focus on the forthcoming 5G cellular wireless standards. Though this blog focuses on the application of Cortex-R8 in storage and modem products, the Cortex-R8 is also applicable to many other markets where the fastest real-time performance is required.
