Andes Supplies IoT-Tailored CPU Cores; INVECAS Provides Design Services and IP Customization on GLOBALFOUNDRIES Processes
SAN JOSE, CA -- Andes Technology Corporation, the leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores, and INVECAS, a provider of leading edge IP solutions, Design Services and ASIC Realization capabilities today announced a high value collaboration. Andes and INVECAS will develop platforms on GLOBALFOUNDRIES' advanced process nodes enabling customers to reduce their risk and time to market.
"We are excited to be working with Andes to port their high-performance 32-bit processor cores to GLOBALFOUNDRIES leading edge FDSOI and finFET process nodes," said Dasarahda R. Gude, Chairman and CEO at INVECAS. "Small to Medium sized fabless companies who often lack the capabilities to design on foundries advanced process technologies can now realize their products by partnering with INVECAS. With Andes CPU IP we can provide customers with complete solutions optimized for power, performance and area. The engagement provides a win-win opportunity for all involved."
"Andes is extremely pleased to be working with INVECAS to bring up our power-efficient CPU cores on the latest 22FDSOI and 14LPP process nodes," said Frankwell Lin, president of Andes Technology. "Andes' wide range of CPU cores, all developed less than 10 years ago are architected around optimizing performance at low power to serve the needs of the fast-growing IoT and network infrastructure markets."
