Can ARM's Cortex-M3 processor save the planet?
Those clever guys at ARM in Cambridge seem to have come up with another winner with the Cortex-M3 processor core.
Not only are the big name licensees, such as NXP, Toshiba and TI, developing new lower power silicon based on the 32-bit Cortex-M3 core, but the really interesting thing is that the core is also defining a whole new business for a couple of newer companies.
That puts it in the same sentence with 8051 and x86. But with a difference. These comapnies want to use Cortex-M3 to create new types of energy-friendly MCUs and so save the planet in the process.
