MOTOROLA'S NEW MPC7410 MICROPROCESSOR DELIVERS ON THE PROMISE OF HIGH PERFORMANCE SMART NETWORKS.Delivering new levels of performance, Motorola (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : MOT) has introduced the second of its fourth- generation (G4) PowerPC microprocessors, the MPC (1) (Mobile PC) A handheld or laptop computer. See handheld computer, laptop computer and Ultra-Mobile PC. (2) (MultiPath Channel) See multipath. 7410 with AltiVec technology. Designed for high-performance, high-bandwidth applications, the MPC7410 offers unrivaled PowerPC performance and provides a compelling solution for host processor requirements in next generation networking Next Generation Networking (NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years. equipment. Motorola's G4 family of PowerPC microprocessors with AltiVec technology are ideal for network control and storage, telecommunications, high-end embedded, scientific and computing applications. The MPC7410, like the MPC7400, supports full symmetric multiprocessing (SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. ) capabilities necessary for designing highly scalable and dense networking systems. Additionally, the MPC7410 implements Motorola's high- bandwidth MPX MPX - Multiplexor Channel system bus, capable of achieving data rates up to 6.4 Gigabits/second, which can provide up to 5 times the bus performance over previous generation G3 processors. A unique L2 private memory mode allows system designers the choice of operating the processor's L2 cache as either a fast backside cache or as high-speed system memory, ideal for storing interrupt service routines or critical data structures. Software can be optimized to utilize the MPC7410's AltiVec technology to help achieve huge gains in performance ideal for signal processing in addition to host processor functionality. Compatible with the entire PowerPC family of microprocessors dating to 1991, the MPC7410 is the first of Motorola's microprocessors to be manufactured in the HiPerMOS 6 (HiP6) 0.18-micron copper fabrication process. This move to Motorola's most advanced manufacturing process make the MPC7410 ideal for high performance networking systems. The MPC7410 PowerPC microprocessor with AltiVec technology is available in 400, 450, and 500 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. versions. Suggested list pricing is $95, $135 and $195 respectively, in quantities of 10,000 units. |
