Top score posted for licensable processor core
Tensilica has announced that it has posted the highest score ever recorded for a licensable processor core, and the highest absolute score ever published for any processor on EEMBC.
The Diamond 108Mini is a fully synthesisable low-power 32bit RISC CPU controller core.

"With its small footprint and minimal power requirements, the Diamond 108Mini is well suited for general control applications".
"We are pleased that Aquantia picked our Diamond Standard 108Mini CPU over the other CPU cores on the market", stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica's Vice President of Marketing.
"As an innovative company leading the emerging 10GBase-T market, the Aquantia team is headed for success with their product design".
