<
processor> A
microprocessor based on the
ARM8 processor
core designed by
Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. Planned
features include a 60-100Mhz
clock rate; 0.35-0.4 micron
silicon fabrication; an improvement on the
ARM7's 1.4
cycle/instruction; a 16 Kbyte
cache.
Some estimates were 100 MIPS and 120 Kdhrystones at 70Mhz
(twice the
ARM700). Samples of the
ARM800 are expected to
be available in late 1995.
It may run on a voltage below 3.3V.
Digital Semiconductor's Hudson fab is 0.35 micron and they
have announced a licensing deal for the ARM architecture (see
StrongARM).
