LG licenses ARM Processor technology

LG had expressed its intention to develop processor for mobile devices in the past and they’ve taken the first step towards it by licensing processor technology from ARM. LG seems to have taken inspiration from its Korean counterpart, Samsung who also develops processors for their high-end devices.

Anyways, under the agreement, LG Electronics will get access to ARM’s Cortex processor and ARM Mali GPU range which also includes Cortex-A15 MPCore, Cortex-A9 MPCore processors, ARM Mali-T604 GPU and ARM CoreLink.

LG plans to use these processors in mobile phones, tablets, set top boxes, digital TV etc.
