SandForce Licenses Tensilica's Diamond Standard 108Mini for Storage Controller Chipsets
Update: Cadence Completes Acquisition of Tensilica (Apr 24, 2013)
SANTA CLARA, CA, – February 26, 2008 – Tensilica, Inc. today announced that SandForce, Inc., of Cupertino, Calif., has licensed the Diamond Standard 108Mini RISC controller core to use in their high-performance storage controller chipset designs.
“We needed a basic, low-cost, small controller, and the Diamond Standard 108Mini perfectly fit our requirements,” stated Alex Naqvi, CEO, SandForce.
“The Diamond Standard 108Mini lowers system cost due to its smaller size, higher performance, and better code density than competitive 32-bit controllers,” stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica’s vice president of marketing. “It’s the perfect solution for SandForce’s basic control needs.”
The Diamond Standard series of embedded processor cores covers the broadest range of performance of any embedded computing architecture. This makes it easy for design teams to pick the right price-power-performance tradeoffs for their particular application requirements. Developed for embedded applications, the Diamond Standard 108Mini is a small, cache-less RISC controller with tightly-coupled local instruction and data memories, a rich interrupt architecture, and high arithmetic and DSP performance.
