Session 3 overview: Digital processors

Digital processors continue to diversify in scope, utilizing a variety of process technologies, application-specific architectures, power management techniques, and heterogeneous processors integrated on a single die. The first two papers cover next-generation high-performance POWER and x86 CPUs, followed by ISSCC's first high-density FPGA. Next comes the first highly integrated power-optimized mobile SOC in 10nm, an automotive microcontroller and a MIMO baseband chip. The final paper is a vision processor for autonomous drones.
