The QorIQ P4080 multicore processor, the first product offered in the QorIQ P4 platform series, delivers industry-leading performance in the under 30-watt power category. It combines eight Power Architecture e500mc cores operating at frequencies up to 1.5 GHz with high-performance datapath acceleration logic, as well as networking I/O and other peripheral bus interfaces. The P4080, built in 45 nm technology, is designed to deliver high-performance, next-generation networking services in a very low power envelope. The QorIQ P4080 processor is designed for combined control and dataplane processing, enabling high-performance Layers 2–7 processing. Its high level of integration offers significant performance benefits compared to multiple discrete devices, while also greatly simplifying board design. The processor is well-suited for applications that are highly compute-intensive, I/O intensive or both. This makes it ideal for applications such as enterprise and service provider routers, switches, media gateways, base station controllers, radio network controllers (RNCs), access gateways for Long Term Evolution (LTE), and general-purpose embedded computing systems in the networking, telecom, industrial, aerospace and defense markets...
