NetLogic unleashes XLP II

SANTA CLARA, USA: NetLogic Microsystems Inc. announced the innovative XLP II family of multi-core processors, the industry’s most advanced and highest performance communications multi-core processors for next-generation LTE mobile infrastructure, data center, enterprise networking, storage and security applications.

As an aggressive early adopter of the state-of-the-art 28nm process technology, the XLP II processor family features groundbreaking innovations that deliver a dramatic 5-7x performance enhancement over the existing generation of XLP processors, which already offer best-in-class performance and have set the gold standard in multi-core processing today.

The XLP II processor family is designed to deliver over 100 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) of network processing performance per device, and over 800Gbps in a clustered, fully-coherent system, which is an order-of-magnitude beyond anything currently available in the market.

As NetLogic Microsystems’ fourth-generation multi-core processor family, the new XLP II multi-core processors integrate up to 80 high-performance NXCPUs per chip, featuring an enhanced quad-issue, quad-threaded, superscalar out-of-order processor architecture capable of operating at up to 2.5 GHz to provide unmatched control and data plane processing and low-power profile. These processor cores include advancements that considerably improve pre-fetch performance, branch mis-predict penalties and cache access latencies.

The XLP II multi-core processor family also significantly expands the tri-level cache architecture to over 32MB of fully coherent on-chip cache which represents over 260MB of on-chip cache in the maximum clustered configuration of 8 fully-coherent XLP II processors.
