Faraday Technology Corporation announced its collaboration with industry giants Arm and Intel to spearhead a cutting-edge 64-core System-on-Chip (SoC) development. This innovative SoC seamlessly integrates Arm Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS), delivering unparalleled performance and power efficiency.
According to BusinessWire, the collaboration aims to meet the increasing demand for scalable hyperscale data centers, infrastructure edge, and advanced 5G networks.
A Fundamental Component for Faraday's SoC Evaluation Platform
The Arm-based SoC is a fundamental component of Faraday's upcoming SoC evaluation platform. Yahoo noted that this platform empowers customers by accelerating the development of data center servers, high-performance computing (HPC)-related ASICs, and custom SoCs.
Additionally, the platform incorporates interface IPs from the Arm Total Design ecosystem, ensuring a comprehensive implementation and verification process for the cutting-edge Intel 18A technology. This integrated approach streamlines SoC architecture exploration within the front-end design flow, reducing the overall chip development timeline. The solution is expected to be available in the first half of 2025.
Steve Wang, CEO of Faraday, emphasizes the company's strategic approach in targeting the most advanced technology nodes to meet the evolving needs of future applications. He expresses excitement about developing the new Arm Neoverse-based SoC platform, leveraging Intel 18A technology. This solution aims to benefit Faraday's ASIC and DIS (Design Implementation Service) customers, enabling them to expedite the time-to-market for cutting-edge data center and HPC applications.
The Importance of Neoverse CSS and Arm Total Design Ecosystem
Mohamed Awad, senior vice president and general manager of Arm's Infrastructure Line of Business, highlights the significance of Arm's Neoverse CSS in the context of AI advancements and the proliferation of data throughout the entire infrastructure. He emphasizes the need for an ecosystem like Arm Total Design to accelerate innovation in this rapidly evolving landscape.
Stuart Pann, Intel's senior vice president and general manager of Intel Foundry Services (IFS), emphasizes their commitment to delivering technology and manufacturing innovation. The strategic collaboration with Faraday demonstrates Intel's dedication to pushing the boundaries of possibility.
