ARM has released the new Cortex-R8 processor design which it says can provide low latency and high performance for modem and storage device chips.
The press release claims that the Cortex chip delivers twice the performance of its predecessor. The Cortex-R7 was released in 2011 so twice the performance over five years is not that impressive, but better than a poke in the eye with a short stick.
The company is targeting the CPU for 5G and LTE modems, as well as next-gen storage devices.
