ARM establishes Hsinchu Design Center

ARM has announced the opening of its design center in the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan. The design facility will focus on physical IP development and processor implementation in support of ARM Cortex processors, ARM Mali graphics processing units (GPUs), and ARM Artisan physical IP products. Product development is currently underway for 28nm and 20nm technologies, targeting advanced ARM Cortex-A Series processors and Mali-T600 series GPUs.

The opening of the Hsinchu Design Center reinforces the importance of Taiwan and the Asia Pacific region to the company. The Taiwan semiconductor industry plays a major role in the ARM ecosystem, with manufacturers involved in the development of both market-leading system-on-chip (SoC) platforms and advanced technologies. The center will enable even closer interaction with local ARM partners and serve as an important focal point in the region for advanced technology engineering.

The Hsinchu Design Center has a staff complement of existing ARM employees on assignment and new local staff. The facility also serves as a key bridge between the local design community and the company's engineering centers worldwide.
