聯電是第一家晶圓專工獲得 SuperH 公司授權 32 位元精簡指令集運算 (RISC) 微處理器元件核心 SH4-200 系列，客戶可透過聯電矽智產元件核心大成的Gold IP 計劃中使用，並用聯電 130 奈米製程技術製造高階產品。 在此協議下，半導體及系統公司則可經由聯電使用 SH-4 元件核心來做系統單晶片 (SOC)，該元件核心亦結合聯電許多程式庫及 IP. SuperH 公司行銷暨業務副總查曼 (Rick Chapman) 表示：該公司 SH-4 客戶目前透過聯電的高階製程技術製造產品，可使產品快速上市，此次與聯電結盟亦突顯市場對 SuperH 架構的廣大接受度。 透過 SH-4 RISC 處理器元件核心可用於汽車、數位消費及住家網間連接器等市場。SH-4 元件核心包括第三者硬體發展工具，編譯器鏈及作業系統，使用 16 位元固定長度指令集可增加編碼效率，266 MHz SH-4 元件核心使用單及雙精度 IEEE754 浮點處理器 (FPU)，FPU 可用 4 個單精度向量 / 矩陣運算來處理用於遊戲，汽車導航浮點數位處理之演算及 3D 繪圖。 聯電設計支援部副總兼部長馮台生表示：SuperH 已展示其適用廣大半導體市場之微處理器元件核心，很高興客戶可在聯電 Gold IP 計劃中使用該元件核心及聯電 130 奈米製程。 SH4-200 系列提供低功率，高績效解決方案，其特色如下：

About SuperH, Inc., |
|
SuperH, Inc., was established as an independent company in 2001 following an agreement between STMicroelectronics and Hitachi to create an independently managed entity to develop processor cores for the open market. The high-performance, low-cost power efficient SH-4 core, is targeted at the next generation digital consumer, automotive and telecommunications applications. Earlier this year SuperH released the SH5-100 series core expanding the portfolio of licensable IP offered by SuperH, Inc. In the future, SuperH, Inc. will develop all subsequent SuperH cores to the open market, including the development of the SH-6 and SH-7 cores. The SuperH family of high-performance 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-based processor cores is ideally suited for applications that require a highly integrated system-on-chip solution that includes a powerful embedded processing engine and can run a wide variety of application software on industry-standard operating systems and middleware. SuperH processors are used in many fields including digital consumer products such as set-top boxes, and digital cameras and games platforms; factory automation systems and car information systems.
