Microprocessor Report Announces First Group of Winners for the Eighth Annual MPR Analysts’ Choice Awards
San Jose, Calif., February 20, 2007 – In-Stat, publisher of Microprocessor Report, announces the first group of winners for the eighth annual MPR Analysts’ Choice Awards. The 2006 award winners were selected by In-Stat’s technology analysts, the team behind the internationally recognized newsletter Microprocessor Report and the annual Microprocessor Forums.
In the past, MPR gave awards in narrow categories, such as Best PC Processor or Best High-Performance Embedded Processor. This year, MPR has created a new category: Innovation. This broader category frees MPR to reward innovative developments relating to microprocessors without necessarily narrowing the choice to specific chips or cores. MPR has chosen those companies that have developed innovative products and technology that have the potential to enhance the design or manufacturing of microprocessors and related semiconductors in the future.
In-Stat is announcing the MPR Analysts’ Choice Awards for 2006 in two groups on February 20 and February 26. This week’s winners are:
- Ambric
Wins for the design concept and architecture of its massively parallel processor, the Am2045.
- ARM and Handshake Solutions
This award is shared by ARM and Handshake for the ARM996HS, the first commercially available 32-bit processor core implemented in asynchronous logic.
- Freescale Semiconductor
Wins for MRAM (magnetic random-access memory). Freescale’s MR2A16A is the first commercially available memory chip based on spintronics technology.
- Intel
Wins for the Core microarchitecture, which is dramatically changing Intel’s approach to designing x86 desktop, mobile, and server processors.
In-Stat congratulates all winners of this year’s MPR Analysts’ Choice Awards. For more information, please visit http://www.mdronline.com/mpr
