LONDON — Processors for mobile clients are going to have to take on many of the functions associated with networking infrastructure, according to Mike Muller, chief technology officer of ARM. This will be part of an explosion of processing requirements for wirelessly-connected devices that will require multiple application-specific processors to keep power consumption down, he added.
Muller was speaking as part of a panel discussion organized by Cambridge Wireless Ltd. (Cambridge, England) on semiconductor opportunities in connectivity. Cambridge Wireless is a company that supports the wireless community around Cambridge.
