reports chip designer Tilera has secured $45 million in additional funding from Cisco, Samsung and equity firms.
Those of you rooting for lots of alternatives to the x64 architecture for the server, networking, and embedded systems rackets will be delighted to hear that Tilera, a maker of innovative system-on-chip (SoC) processors, has lined up $45m in funding to help it ramp up development and sell more product.
Tilera is billing its forthcoming TileGx processors – which start shipping this year and which will pack from 16 to 100 cores on a single chip – as the "cloud computer."
