Xilinx Inc. has revealed the first customer shipment of its 16nm multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) a quarter ahead of schedule. According to the company, the early release of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC allows Xilinx customers to begin designing and delivering MPSoC-based systems.
Built using TSMC's 16FF+ process, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC enables the development of next-generation embedded vision, ADAS, IIoT and communications systems by providing 5X system-level performance/watt and any-to-any connectivity with the security and safety required for next-generation systems, indicated the company.
The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC claims to be the industry's first heterogeneous MPSoC using TSMC's 16FF+ process. The MPSoCs combine seven user programmable processors including a 64bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 APU, a 32bit dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 real time processing unit and an ARM Mali-400 GPU. The family also includes a host of integrated peripherals, safety and security features, and advanced power management. When coupled with the SDSoC development environment, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family enables systems that are both software defined and hardware optimised.
Initial All Programmable Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices are shipping. General sampling begins in 1Q16.
