Micro Magic comes up with super-efficient CPU
 

5GHz and 1.1V

Micro Magic has produced a prototype CPU that is several times more efficient than world-leading competitors, while retaining reasonable raw performance.

According to the EE Times, the company's new prototype CPU, which appears to be the fastest RISC-V CPU in the world.

Micro Magic adviser Andy Huang claimed the CPU could produce 13,000 CoreMarks (more on that later) at 5GHz and 1.1V while also putting out 11,000 CoreMarks at 4.25GHz -- the latter all while consuming only 200mW.

Huang demonstrated the CPU -- running on an Odroid board -- to EE Times at 4.327GHz/0.8V and 5.19GHz/1.1V. Later the same week, Micro Magic announced the same CPU could produce over 8,000 CoreMarks at 3GHz while consuming only 69mW of power.

Of course, it is not that simple, as it is difficult to work out what a CoreMark is and how many of them are needed to make a fast CPU.
