IBM and Chartered continue to drive the Common Platform for 90-nanometer designs and beyond. We worked closely with Cadence to enable a low-power, yield-aware design methodology to reduce design and manufacturing risk. This next phase in the design chain collaboration with Cadence expands our open ecosystem based on collaborative innovation. |
The Common Platform model has proven to be an attractive choice for many customers who want not only leading-edge manufacturing capacity, but also a low-risk, flexible approach to managing their sourcing strategies. Adding this IP support from ARM makes the common 65nm process that much more accessible across all three companies, and provides a broader range of options for our mutual customers. |
