LONDON – Fabless network processor company Netronome Systems Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.) has announced details of the NFP-6xxx family of flow processors, which operate at up to 200-Gbits per second. The chips are made using Intel's 22-nm FinFET manufacturing process technology. Netronome claims they provide more than six times the packet processing performance at less than half the power of alternatives made using 28-nm CMOS.
