NetLogic Microsystems Delivers World's First 500 MHz Knowledge-Based Processor
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 8, 2006—
NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NETL), the leader in
the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today
announced the availability of its NL6000XS family of knowledge-based
processors that provides the industry's first and highest performance
500 Megahertz (MHz) device for comprehensive network-aware packet
classification.
The market-leading performance and rich feature-set of the
NL6000XS family of knowledge-based processors deliver the next level
of performance required for customers to develop advanced Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), mobile
multimedia, peer-to-peer networking and Internet Protocol version6
(IPv6) systems.
The NL6000XS significantly extends the performance and
functionality of NetLogic Microsystems' NL6000 product family to
enable advanced 40 Gigabit networking systems. By employing an
advanced superscalar with deep pipelining architecture, the device
provides superior parallel processing capabilities and offers
leading-edge features such as logical table assignments, single-cycle
key modification and re-issue, and advanced low-power modes, which
deliver up to 75% lower power than competing solutions, allowing for
use of 500MHz parts in multi-chip, content heavy applications such as
triple-play routing.
"By leveraging our market and technology leadership in
knowledge-based processors as well as advances in semiconductor
technology from our manufacturing partners, we are excited to deliver
to our customers the highest performance knowledge-based processor in
the industry," said Dimitrios Dimitrelis, vice president of
engineering. "The architecture designed for the NL6000 family of
products has demonstrated tremendous scalability, and is a testament
to the capabilities of our designers."
The progression to multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Internet
Protocol Version 6 and advanced triple-play features to support VoIP,
IPTV and other video applications, is driving the industry to
ever-increasing performance levels of knowledge-based processors. As
evidence of this drive for performance, five of the industry's leading
manufacturers are designing with the NL6000XS. By maintaining
instruction set and footprint compatibility, NetLogic Microsystems is
making it easier and faster for its customers to upgrade to this new
performance capability.
Availability
The NL6000XS family of knowledge-based processors is available now
for samples. For additional information, please contact
