10 Billion Chips Use Licensed CPUs
Licensed CPU-IP cores appeared in more than 10 billion chips in 2011. Less than half of these chips went into mobile devices, although ARM continues to be the leader with 78% unit share, according to our estimates.

Intel's Initial Ivy Bridge Wave
Intel has launched its first 22nm chips with quad-core versions of Ivy Bridge. This first Ivy Bridge introduction included 13 Core i5 and Core i7 models topped by the 3.5GHz Core i7-3770K desktop processor.

Parallelism for the Masses
Intel has proposed a JavaScript extension that makes parallel programming easy enough for almost anyone—and it’s surprisingly powerful. It hides the nitty-gritty details while using almost any parallel-processing resources available in a system.

Achronix Speedster 22i Has More I/O
Achronix will continue to offer high-speed FPGAs based on its signature asynchronous technology, but its new Speedster 22i also includes high-density (HD) devices based on synchronous logic. Competing with FPGAs from Xilinx and Altera, Speedster 22i HD integrates more I/O blocks and, owing to fabrication in Intel’s 22nm process, consumes less power.

Broadcom First with 100GbE Duplex NPU
Broadcom has announced its BCM88030 network-processor family that includes the world’s first 100Gbps full-duplex NPU. Sampling since 1Q12, this NPU leapfrogs its competitors and strengthens Broadcom position in the growing NPU market. The company can combine its NPU with search coprocessors (KBPs) and switch fabrics to offer more-complete solutions than competitors.

Intel, ARM Target Microservers
To improve power efficiency and density, cloud data centers are turning to a new type of system called microservers. ARM vendors such as Calxeda are targeting these tiny servers, but Intel plans to fight back with its first Atom-based server processor, code-named Centerton.
