CAMBRIDGE, UK - Apr. 14, 2003 - ARM [(LSE:ARM);(Nasdaq:ARMHY)],
the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor
solutions, today announced that LSI Logic and ParthusCeva have joined the
ARM® PrimeXsys™ Community Program. As members of the Program, these two
leading Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Intellectual Property (IP)
companies will interface their leading-edge DSP cores with ARM PrimeXsys
Platforms.

DSP technology is now a well-established, fundamental and independent
processor technology. It can be found at the heart of a wide range of
digital electronics devices, from portable audio players through mobile
phones to set-top boxes, and is often employed in conjunction with
microprocessor cores such as those designed by ARM. However, because of
the increasing use of DSPs alongside microprocessor cores, issues
surrounding integration of DSPs with microprocessors has now become an
important design consideration.

Developers of ARM microprocessor core-based devices wishing to
integrate DSP IP cores into their solutions can now gain access to
pre-integrated, pre-validated DSP hardware and software IP through the
PrimeXsys Platform, resulting in faster time-to-market, reduced
development cost and risk, and reusability.

"DSP core technology is an important part of many applications, such as
the intensive data processing requirements of mobile phones and networking
system-on-chips (SoC). It is vital that we provide our development
community with the best solutions possible to integrate the ARM cores and
DSP cores together on one piece of silicon, through a platform approach,"
said Matt Byatt, DSP program manager, ARM. "LSI Logic and ParthusCeva are
widely recognized as leaders in their fields and will contribute valuable
IP and expertise to the PrimeXsys Community. The addition of these two
companies will benefit the Community by helping to address the significant
issues associated with integrating multi-core SoCs. "

"The ARM PrimeXsys Platform is a significant step forward in enabling
multiprocessor SoC designs," said Tuan Dao, vice president, DSP Products
Division, LSI Logic. "LSI Logic brings its world-class ZSP signal
processing technology to the PrimeXsys Community, built on decades of SoC
and ASIC leadership in a broad range of applications including consumer,
communication and storage products."

"It is encouraging to see companies such as ARM delivering solutions
such as the PrimeXsys Platform, which enables silicon designers to bring
their products to market quickly," said Sean Mitchell, VP Strategic
Marketing, ParthusCeva. "Combining ParthusCeva IP into the PrimeXsys
Platform will result in a powerful package that will bring increased
benefits by enabling system designers to accelerate the time-to-market for
combined DSP and microprocessor designs."
