The first is held by Adaptec, the second by Intel. Both reference Arm Holdings in their multicore proceessor architecture.
Excerpt below from the Low voltage operation of static random access memory patent assigned to Intel
Turning to FIG. 1, integrated circuit 10 may include, for example, a compute engine, a microprocessor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a microcontroller, a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, an ARM.TM. architectural core from ARM Holdings in Cambridge, England, a StrongARM.TM. core or an XScale.TM. core from Intel Corporation in Santa Clara, Calif., or an embedded core. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, integrated circuit 10 may be described having a microprocessor core 20 and a memory block 40. Address lines, control signals, and data may be passed from microprocessor core 20, through translator block 30, to memory block 40. Memory block 40 may primarily be comprised of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells that may be arranged as multiple separate arrays or as a cache memory. Data stored in memory block 40 may be ``read`` by sense amplifiers 50 and supplied to microprocessor core 20.
