A multicore platform consisting of single, dual and quad-core families based upon the ARM ® Cortex™- A9 architecture

The i.MX 6 series of application processors use a scalable multicore platform that consists of single, dual, and quad-core families based on the Arm Cortex A9 Architecture for next-generation consumer, automobile as well as industrial applications. The processors are energy-efficient and powerful and could be made use of in Automotive Infotainment, E-Readers, Home Automation, In-flight Entertainment, Intelligent Industrial Control Systems, IP phones, IPTV, Portable Medical Devices, as well as Tablets.

Arm Cortex A9 Architecture High-Performance Multimedia Processing

The i.MX 6 series was designed especially to allow this new market by uniting high-performance scalable multimedia processing, a software-compatible family of 5 processors, and pin *-suitable processor solutions with integrated power management to make sure that a manufacturer could release a complete portfolio of products with a single hardware design.

Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective Solutions

The i.MX 6 series gets to a new level of power versus efficiency by giving a scalable family of single, dual, and quad-core processor families based on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture. Single, as well as dual-core designs, provide cost-effective performance scalability while the quad-processor offers more performance at lower power for the most requiring applications with constrained power budgets.

Powerful Graphics Engine

i.MX 6 supports an integrated 1080p encoder/decoder hardware engine and high-performance graphics accelerators with 1080p60 video playback, allowing incredibly high-grade video with long battery life for devices playing high-definition content. The powerful 3D graphics engine integrates the power of the main cores with the 3D engine to perform considerable computational tasks. The mixed multimedia processing power of i.MX 6 Application Processors make it possible for a new generation of devices ready for augmented reality applications, content creation capacities and multichannel HD video processing, and so on.
