Cavium said the higher computing performance will be required in converged wired and wireless infrastructure equipment to handle features such as Robust Header Compression (ROHC), KASUMI security and subscriber management services. The 1 Gigahertz OCTEON Plus family, which maintains full software and pin compatibility with previous devices in the series, also includes power management techniques that deliver up to 2X higher performance in the same power budget to set new performance per watt records. Cavium's OCTEON processors have been adopted by Tier-1 OEMs for networking, security, control plane, wireless, storage and broadband gateway applications. The single core to 16 core processors have been integrated into over 100 designs that include Routers, L3+ Switches, UTM, Storage, 3G & WLAN Wireless, WiMAX, Broadband Gateways, and VOIP. Customer end products based on the OCTEON family have started rolling out to customers in 2H 2006. The Wind River Platform for Network Equipment, Linux Edition and Wind River VxWorks 6.1 are available for OCTEON Multi-core MIPS64 based Processor Family. http://www.cavium.com 09-Oct-06 > Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Silicon News IBM Ships Four Core, 5.2 GHZ CPU -- World's Fastest Intel Confirms Acquisition of Infineon Wireless Applied Materials' Flowable CVD Offers New Chip Process Technology Lantiq Debuts Family of Gigabit Speed Gateway Processors Xelerated Samples its Programmable Ethernet Switches Advantech and NetLogic Partner on 40Gbps ATCA Chassis Lantiq Samples 65nm VDSL2 CO Chipset with Line Bonding Lantiq Intros Wireless LAN Chips with Beamforming Marvell Acquires DS2 for Powerline Chips Broadcom Demos FastRTV Channel Change Technology Marvell Posts Revenue of $896 Million, Up 5% Sequentially Freescale Intros New PowerQUICC II Processors AppliedMicro to Acquire TPACK for Emerging OTN PacketFront Employs Mindspeed Processor for Gigabit-to-the Home CPE Solarflare Ships its Dual-port 10GBASE-T > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton         E-mail Newsletter Subscribe Now
