Freescale and IBM agree to research jointly
to transit into 45nm nodes and lower
Freescale has signed an agreement with
IBM to join IBM technology Alliance for joint semiconductor
research and development. Both the companies will jointly
research on Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS),
Silicon on Insulator (SOI), and 45nm node process. Freescale's
market understanding and IBM's most advanced research capabilities
will be an unmatchable combination. The old PowerPC partnership
between these companies is well known.
As the content moving more into multimedia,
the market demands power media processors with some new breakthrough
processor architectures for the wide range of market including
tiny RFID, embedded, security, and process thirsty servers.
Applications are also equally wide like consumer, automotive,
communication, wireless, industrial, computers and networking.
Let's wait for this combination to generate
few new technology abbreviations/words and make few technology
abbreviations/words obsolete.
