Building on the earlier Performance P550 processor, company engineering estimates are that it will have 40% more performance per clock cycle – to 11+SPECInt2006/GHz – and it has architecture enhancements improve maximum clock frequency – together adding to 50% performance gain over the P550.
Performance can be scaled. Maximum is with sixteen cores in a coherent complex with platform-level memory management and interrupt control. Support is included for the new Risc-V hypervisor extension for virtualisation.
