AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - September 9, 2008) - Intrinsity, Inc. announced it has signed an
agreement with the System LSI division of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a
global leader in advanced semiconductor technology, to develop high
performance, low power processors using the Intrinsity Fast14 technology.
"Our Fast14 technology delivers both significantly higher operating
frequencies with lower power consumption compared to conventional
synthesized static logic technologies. We feel that Fast14 technology will
play an increasing role in fast, low power design in the future," said Bob
Russo, Intrinsity CEO. "Partnering with Samsung in this program not only
allows us to combine efforts of some of the finest design teams in the
industry, but also affords us access to some of the most advanced silicon
process technology available today."
Fast14 technology combines 1-of-N Domino Logic (NDL), custom and semicustom
static logic, high-speed memory technology, specialized low-power design
techniques and a design automation platform to deliver the best available
combination of speed, power and silicon area. Additionally, since Fast14
technology integrates seamlessly with conventional design styles, highly
sophisticated SoCs (systems-on-a chip) can be rapidly built to serve a
broad array of market needs at optimized performance/power operating
points.
"Samsung is recognized as a technology leader in almost every market in
which we participate. Intrinsity's technology and team will help us stay
several steps ahead in high speed, low-power design," said Sung Bae Park,
vice president, Samsung Electronics' System LSI Division. "We feel that
Samsung and Intrinsity bring highly complementary skills and technologies
to the table, and together we can accelerate our progress in advancing the
state of the art."
