Allwinner Technology Introduces New SoC Platform onTSMC 55nm Process

Taipei, March 29, 2012 (CENS)--lwinner Technology Co., Ltd., a leading supplier of high-definition media semiconductor solutions headquartered in Shanghai, recently released a new system-on-chip (SoC) platform based on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (TSMC's) 55nm process technology.

The platform, codenamed A10, employs advanced SoC design technology to integrate central processing unit, graphic processing unit, high-definition multi-frame video engine, 3D multi-screen engine, and high-speed video interface module on a chip.

Equipped with Allwinner's Android 4.0.3 Software Development Kit, A10 consumes fewer energy to achieve higher computing efficiency on mobile devices.

Using TSMC's 55nm process technology, A10 is able to deliver quality dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) performance and brand new video management capability on mobile computing devices, and extend battery lifespan of the devices.

TSMC's 55nm process shrinks geometry of integrated circuits, including I/O, on chips by 90% as compared with chips with 65nm process, considerably cutting down cost of every single chip and saving electricity on a chip by 8% relative to competing chips.

Allwinner General Manager Zhang Jianghui pointed out that TSMC has been a reliable partner supporting Allwinner in product production, quality and lead time.
