The processor helps to connect up, wireless network performance

Cavium network announces its network processor of future generation, II Octeon, which purpose is advancing for the performance of the broad telegram telling and wireless network system.

Custom cnMIPS64 a central edition of upgrading of Octeon II use Cavium, heavy figure get 32 loud figure most that can get in one most from 16 can get in one. It increase core a lot of it is new for order and including to support 3 G snow algorithm use at G cell-phone network of 3 pieces. Operate in the largest core of transmission speed of data of 1.5 GHz now, rise from 900 MHz.

One block of banks supporting DSP that continuous RapidIO links and gets and usually uses at the wireless basic station now. It upgrades and supports from DDR2 to DDR3 memory too and from 2.5 GHz to 5.0 GHz PCIe. Xaui is advanced from 3.125 GHz to 6.25 GHz too at port.

Slice is from quantity of advancing the biggest hardware accelerator 24 to 75 on the plane too. Those consumption of scene is from 7 W to 17 W.

The first edition of Octeon II shipped will be CN63XX, a piece of 2 to 6 key apparatus uses 2 Mbytes L2 high-speed buffer memory. Cavium plans to ship lower and higher end part finally.

CN63XX depend on the structure in 10, 000 quantity price from 59-199 price of range. The company does not expect to the sample slice is very late until this year.

Company, including silk forge, Cisco system, IBM, and Du loose network until wide system range to include router use the first information of Octeon parts today very, put through, the utensil and array of storing.

It is that a wireless system will be suitable that slice will be competed for from Freescale and a processor from new boundary line of the processor of LSI Company with imbedding.
