Motorola's Newest PowerPC 750 Microprocessor Advances to 366 MHz and Reduces Power Consumption.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 1998-- Low 1.9 volt design is ideal for embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. , mobile and desktop applications Continuing to expand its portfolio of high-performance PowerPC(tm) microprocessors, Motorola announced today the availability of 366-, and 333- and 300 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. PowerPC 750(tm) microprocessors operating at a new, low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains . The 366- and 333 MHz frequencies are new performance marks for the PowerPC 750 microprocessor. All three of these new 1.9 volt versions also reduce power consumption by more than half when compared to existing PowerPC 750 microprocessors at the same clock speed. This industry-leading combination of high performance and low power dissipation is ideal for a wide range of products and applications from networking and telecommunications to desktop and mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings . Benefits to Customers Digital data has quickly become the prime driver and enabler of the extraordinary growth of information traffic worldwide. In providing a new class of products and applications to support this growth, vendors must offer higher computational capabilities and, at the same time, meet customers' low power and low heat requirements. The new, low-voltage PowerPC 750 microprocessors provide this combination of top-end performance without power penalty. Motorola has boosted the top clock speed of its PowerPC 750 microprocessor product line by more than 20 percent while also reducing power consumption. Using Motorola's advanced manufacturing process technology, the internal voltage was reduced from 2.6 volts to 1.9 volts. As a result, the new 1.9 volt 300 MHz PowerPC 750 microprocessor's typical power consumption of 3.4 watts is less than half of the 7.0 watts of the 2.6 volt version. "Motorola's advanced manufacturing capabilities are a powerful tool for building high-performance, low-power microprocessors," said Will Swearingen, PowerPC strategic marketing manager for Motorola's Networking and Computing Systems Group. "The resulting combination of higher clock speeds and lower power will enable Motorola's latest PowerPC 750 microprocessors to help customers in multiple markets maximize system-level perfee new 1.9 volt PowerPC 750 microprocessors hav16.1, and SPECfp95 of 9.9. Motorola is also announcing immediate availability of its PowerPC 740 microprocessor at 300 MHz in the new lower voltage in 255-pin CBGA CBGA Ceramic Ball Grid Array CBGA Central Banks Gold Agreement CBGA Cascade Boer Goat Association packaging. As the world's Number 1 producer of embedded processors, es. Motorola's semiconductor sales were $8.0 billion (US) in 1997. In the global marketplace, Motorola also is one of the leading providers of wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. , advanced electronic systems, components and services. Major equipment businesses include cellular telephone, two-way radio A voice network that provides an always-on connection enabling the user to just "push the button and talk." Also called "dispatch radio," two-way radio has traditionally been used by police, fire, taxi and other mobile fleets. , paging and data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers.
