In April this year, SiPearl announced that it had signed a major licensing agreement with ARM for the development of its first generation of microprocessors. Under the terms of this agreement, SiPearl will benefit from the high-performance, secure and scalable next-generation Arm Neoverse platform, codenamed ‶Zeusʺ, as well as Arm’s robust software and hardware ecosystem. The “Zeus” platform, which includes Arm’s POP intellectual property on advanced FinFET2 technology, will enable SiPearl to accelerate its design and ensure outstanding reliability for a very high-end offering, in terms of both computing power and energy efficiency.
