Electronics Semiconductors Supply Chain embedded design embedded design processors processors semiconductor semiconductorsNXP Semiconductors i.MX 8M family of applications processors enables embedded designers to meet the new standards of user interface, intelligence and connectivity set by consumer electronic devices. Processors are suitable for increasing video, graphic, and audio system requirements for smarthome and smart IoT applications. Devices address leading-edge current and future trends in streaming media, high-resolution video, and graphic user interfaces. Devices integrate a general-purpose Arm Cortex-M4F core for real-time low-power processing, a GC7000Lite graphics processor, and either two (i.MX 8M Dual processors) or four (i.MX 8M Quad and QuadLite processors) Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 1.5 GHz.
