Samsung Electronics


Samsung offers 16- to 32-bit processors targeting handheld-system applications, including smartphones, VOIP (voice-over-Internet Protocol) phones, portable GPS (global-positioning-system) devices, gaming systems, netbooks and PDAs (personal digital assistants). Samsung's family of mobile application processors features ARM920T-, ARM926EJ-, ARM1176, and ARM Cortex A8 and A9-based RISC cores. Samsung developed the processor family using CMOS-standard cells and a memory compiler; the family adopts the AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture), and the newer ARM Cortex A8 and A9-based systems use an advanced multilayer AXI (advanced-extensible-interface)-bus architecture.
