You mean like an M3 to run code, a 2.4GHz radio and a a separate M0 to run the that and the stack, plus a nice clutch of peripherals? I have exactly such a chip in a dev board which arrived last week I've been evaluating. Great chip, nowhere near as nice to use as the nrf51 series although that may be partly my unfamiliarity with the way a certain other company packages their software. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing something like that come out of Nordic running a version of the stack we're all used to.
Shame that nobody who's talking knows, and nobody who knows, is talking!
A dual-core would be wonderful: i have already seen a dual-core ultra low power, the M0+ core could be used for stack and radio computing while leaving the M3/M4 core at 100% use of the customer!
Anyway it could be enough for me to have a slightly faster core without the need to be blocked during radio activity (as the nRF51822 rev3) with 1/3 of the current power consumption and some improved peripherals (ADC 12 bit, more SPIs/I2Cs with integrated fifo and configurable interrupts in reception) and .... please use GCC as the main development platform :-))
Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. – September 29, 2014 : TSMC
Svenn-Tore Larsen, CEO of Nordic Semiconductor : "We have been collaborating closely with TSMC on the selection of process technology for our upcoming nRF52 Series of ultra-low power RF SoCs. I am happy to announce that we have selected the TSMC 55ULP platform. This process is a key enabler for us to push the envelope on power consumption, performance and level of integration of the nRF52 Series to meet the future requirements of Wearable and Internet of Things applications.”
