The proAptiv™ processor family is part of the new MIPS Aptiv™ generation of processor IP cores from Imagination, designed to deliver the compelling top-line performance required for tomorrow’s connected consumer electronics including smartphones, tablets, connected TVs and set-top boxes. proAptiv CPUs are based on a wide issue, deeply out-of-order (OoO) implementation of the MIPS32 architecture, and are available in single and multi-core product versions supporting up to six cores. The proAptiv family leverages a new base core microarchitecture, a new floating point unit (FPU), and an enhanced multi-core interconnect to deliver a major leap forward in performance over the previous generation of MIPS’ IP cores, while implementing in nearly the half the size of competing cores in the same process node.
