ZiilLABS, a cutting-edge media processor and platforms company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd., and ARM, will be showcasing ZiiLABS new ZMS-08 -based SiVO Digital Home Platform this week at CES. By combining the ZiiLABS StemCell Computing Array and the ARM 1GHz Cortex-A8 processor into a single SoC, the consumer can experience 1080p Blu-ray quality HDTV and 3D graphics user interfaces on low-power connected home devices.

ARM announced the development of two Cortex-A9 MPCore hard macro implementations for the TSMC 40nm-G process, enabling silicon manufacturers to have a rapid and low-risk route to silicon for high-performance, low-power Cortex-A9 processor-based devices. The speed-optimized hard macro implementation will enable devices to operate at frequencies greater than 2GHz.
