VIA will be making a System on Chip (SoC) that includes supports for Solid State Drives (SSDs). The news come as Tensilica announces VIA's choice to use their DPU for the task.
"Tensilica's DPUs allow designers to customize the IP core, mix both control and signal processing, and add high-bandwidth connectivity to increase performance without increasing the clock speed. For example, designers can use single-cycle bit field manipulation and arithmetic instructions along with multiple simultaneous single-cycle table lookups to achieve over 10 times the efficiency of other processors. This not only increases IOPS, but also significantly reduces the energy consumed and the complexity of the SOC design itself." [Source]
Although not much else about this development has been announced, I wonder whether it's VIA who will be producing this SoC or VIA Wondermedia, a favorite SoC solution of many tablets found in South East Asia.
