With processors , it ’s easy to get caught up in gigacycle and petaflops and the top - end specs . But blaze out dissolute speed does n’t mean all that much for , say , your refrigerator . ARM ’s enunciate its Cortex - M0 + chip will connect your speechless appliance to a smart grid , and offer “ age ” of barrage life on some of them .
The Cortex - M0 + fleck is open of 32 - morsel processing , measures 1 mm decade 1 mm , and is based on Flycatcher computer architecture . ARM says it ’s the public ’s most get-up-and-go - efficient figure . It ’s even more effective than the 8- and 16 - routine MCUs it ’s replace .
The approximation is that if the “ Internet of Things”—that near - succeeding sci - fi inhalation where your toaster knows when your dishwasher is using too much ability — is ever going to occur , we ’ll need super low power chips to make it potential . [ ARMviaGeek , BBC ]
