ARM launched new Cortex M7 MCU

As Intel has already started to develop its 64 bit chipset, ARM is also focusing on the 64 bits MCU. But even so, ARM still launched a new Cortex MCU. From 2005 till now, ARM has already sold over 8 billion pieces chips based on Cortex M. In the past 18 months, ARM has sold 460 million pieces chips. Today, ARM has launched its new Cortex M7.

Cortex M7 adopts the 32 bits ARMv7-M, and owns six-stage superscalar pipeline. It is compatible with the last generation, and running speed of the new MCU will be doubled than the old one.

ARM said, the single 400Mhz Cortex M7 which is based on 40nm process technology can reach 2000 Coremarks. The new Cortex M7 will adopt 28nm technology, so it will break the 2000 Coremarks.

Now, ARM has already authorized Ateml and other partners of this new MCU.
