New ARM-based multi-core processor SoC provides revolutionary, power-efficient solution

Socionext has introduced a new ARM-based multi-core processor ‘SC2A11A’. The SoC integrates 24 cores of ARM CortexTM-A53 on a single die, and provides optimum solution for growing applications such as data center servers for online service providers and edge computing in IoT systems. When maximizing the hardware efficiency for data center server systems, a scalable, distributed computing server system with power-efficient processors and optimized memory architecture is essential for achieving high performance with lower power consumption. The SC2A11A provides optimal CPU balance of performance and power consumption for such requirements, incorporating 24 cores of power-efficient ARM Cortex-A53, along with 64-bit memory. The small core solution implemented in the device does not require an advanced cooling system, so the PUE coefficient is also superior, when the SoC is utilized for the data center servers. The device’s performance and the power efficiency are suitable not only for data centers but also for edge computing applications, which is seeing rapid growth as the IoT (Internet of Things) expands.
