Start with the news release
LSI adds processor core and memory blocks to range from
LSI Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "LSI has announced the addition of the multicore-capable PowerPC 476 microprocessor core and high-speed, embedded DRAM memory blocks to its portfolio of custom silicon intellectual property (IP).".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Econa ARM-based processors are energy efficient from
Ismosys: "Cavium's energy efficient Econa CNS3XXX ARM-based SoC processors are now available from Ismosys.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Atmel Corporation
- take a look at Atmel releases radiation-hardened Sparc processor
which says: "Atmel has introduced the AT697 Revision F, a radiation-hardened Sparc processor for space applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Quadros Systems, Quadros supports ARM1136 and ARM1176 cores,
as well as V850E/Sx3Ha range on display at Embedded World from Gleichmann-Sunrise,
and Gleichmann to distribute 16-bit microcontrollers from Gleichmann-Sunrise.
