MIPS I7200 CPU Dons New Threads: New Core Targets Real-Time Control in Communications Processors

摘要

The new MIPS 17200 is a licensable 32-bit CPU optimized for multithreaded real-time control in LTE- Advanced and 5G modems. It's also suited to handling the control plane in Wi-Fi router and gateway chips. The company developed the 17200 in partnership with MediaTek, one of several modem-chip vendors that use MIPS CPUs, along with Altair (Sony) and Qualcomm Atheros. (Sequans recently switched from MIPS to Andes.) RTL is available now for general licensing.
