MIPS32(R) 74K(TM) Core Featured in Broadcom's New Family of Single-Chip WLAN Router Solutions
According to ABI Research, the need for high-speed networking technology is being driven by demand from consumers and device manufacturers to unleash video entertainment around the home. ABI Research predicts that 216 million 802.11n chipsets, such as those produced by Broadcom, will be targeted towards consumer electronics devices by 2011. In 2007, Broadcom was the leading Wi-Fi chipset vendor, according to ABI Research.
"Broadcom is the leading provider of Wi-Fi chipsets, and we are pleased it has chosen the 74K core for its three new 802.11n router solutions that reduce costs without sacrificing performance," said Brad Holtzinger, vice president of worldwide sales at MIPS Technologies. "Broadcom was first to license the 74K core as an early access customer, and we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with them as they create more exciting products that require the superior, next-generation performance our processor cores deliver."
MIPS32 74K cores are the industry's first fully synthesizable 32-bit processors to achieve operating frequencies greater than 1 GHz in TSMC 65nm process technology. The 74K core family is designed to work with generic standard cells, memories and EDA design flows without the need for premium physical IP or costly structured logic and custom design flows. Using an advanced microarchitecture designed for the embedded market, the 74K core family is optimized to deliver exceptional performance levels as well as area- and power-efficiencies required for today's complex SoC designs.
