NetLogic to volume produce XLP316L multi-core
processors
NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. has announced that it has
received, and is now accepting orders for volume production
for its best-in-class XLP316L multi-core, multi-threaded
processors from customers developing next-generation LTE
base stations. XLP316L multi-core processors are suggested
for eNodeB solutions for LTE and LTE-Advanced.
"The receipt of orders for volume production from
our leading customers for the XLP316L processor, just months
after its announcement, is a testament to the compelling
benefits of the product and to its success in addressing
the critical requirements of advanced LTE networks"
NetLogic says the XLP316L multi-core processor integrates
16 high-performance NXCPUs and an innovative quad-issue,
quad-threaded processor architecture with superscalar out-of-order
execution capabilities to deliver the industry's highest
performance Layers 2-7 processing for mobile wireless infrastructure.
XLP316L processor features number of base station-specific
specifications and functions making it suitable for LTE
applications, such as an advanced floating point unit (FPU),
Kasumi and SNOW3G security protocol acceleration and a low-latency
Serial RapidIO (SRIO) interface.
"The receipt of orders for volume production from
our leading customers for the XLP316L processor, just months
after its announcement, is a testament to the compelling
benefits of the product and to its success in addressing
the critical requirements of advanced LTE networks,"
said Chris O'Reilly, vice president of marketing for NetLogic
Microsystems. "Through outstanding execution, we have
accelerated the delivery of this product to the market at
a time when the deployment of LTE infrastructure is gaining
momentum worldwide. With highly differentiated performance
and feature sets, our XLP processor product family is having
tremendous design win success throughout wireless infrastructure,
including common platform base stations, service gateways
and equipment targeted at the mobile packet core. Its state-of-the-art
design is enabling our Tier One customers to keep pace with
the increasingly rigorous demands of advanced wireless telecommunications."
According to NetLogic the industry migration from 3G WCDMA
and HSPA+ mobile wireless technologies to 4G LTE and LTE-Advanced
protocols requires at least a 10X increase in the performance
of next-generation base stations to enable significantly
greater bandwidth and faster download speeds. The XLP316L
multi-core processor is perfectly suited for this application,
offering unparalleled performance of up to 20 Gigabits-per-second
(Gbps) and 30 million packets-per-second (Mpps) for converged
data plane and control plane processing, all within a low
power profile, enabled in part by its development on the
advanced 40 nanometer process technology, says NetLogic.
