AppliedMicro introduces new APM 83K series System on Chip.Worldwide Computer Products News-16 October 2009-AppliedMicro introduces new APM (Advanced Power Management) A programming interface (API) from Intel and Microsoft for battery-powered computers that lets programs communicate power requirements to slow down and speed up components. See ACPI. APM - Advanced Power Management 83K series System on Chip(C)1995-2009 M2 COMMUNICATIONS http://www.m2.com Energy-efficient computing and communications solutions provider Applied Micro Circuits Corporation Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC) is a fabless semiconductor company designing network and embedded Power Architecture (including a Power Architecture license), optical transport and storage solutions. (AppliedMicro) (Nasdaq:AMCC AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation AMCC Air Mobility Control Center AMCC Ashore Mobile Contingency Communications AMCC Advanced Materials Commercialization Center AMCC allied movement coordination center (US DoD) ) announced on Friday the first member of its APM 83K series System on Chip (SoC) family, the APM 83290. According to the company, the APM 83290 includes a processor subsystem that integrates two Titan cores based on Power Architecture technology, delivering frequencies of 1.5GHz per core. The Titan core is a superscalar, dual-issue, out-of-order core designed to achieve high single thread performance on a per clock basis. New circuit design techniques enable the new SoC to deliver speeds of 1.5GHz in 90nm bulk CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. , while comparable designs require 45nm Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) process technology to achieve similar operating speeds. This combination of performance and price flexibility makes the solution suitable for many low cost application areas. The APM 83290's PacketPro technology consists of a number of acceleration blocks designed to offload the processor subsystem from commonly occurring tasks in networking applications. A message passing architecture simplifies data movement between the various acceleration blocks and provides Quality of Service guarantees for each flow, regardless of the loading from other flows. In addition, AppliedMicro's MultiEase technology enables customers to reduce development efforts and accelerate their time to market schedules by providing virtualisation of on-chip resources, fault isolation debug and error recovery. The APM 83K series is also code compatible with PowerPC products, enabling developers to leverage their software development efforts and tool sets into new multi-core applications. APM 83290 is available now in sample quantities with production quantities expected in Q1 2010. No pricing details were disclosed. ((Comments on this story may be sent to info@m2.com)) |
