OCTEON™ Plus CN54XX Multi-Core MIPS64 Based SoC Processors
The OCTEON Plus CN54XX family of Multi-core MIPS64 processors targets intelligent, networking, control plane, and wireless applications in next-generation equipment. The family includes nine software and pin-compatible processors, with two to six cnMIPS64 cores at up to 1GHz speed on a single chip that integrate next-generation SERDES based networking I/Os including XAUI, along with the most advanced security and application hardware acceleration. CN54XX processors deliver up to full-duplex 4Gbps application performance.

Security hardware acceleration in the CN54XX implements the latest set of algorithms, including KASUMI support to enable future-proof designs for evolving wireless network requirements. CN54XX also integrates enhanced, higher-performance versions of hardware acceleration for compression/decompression and TCP to deliver the industry's top performance. Supported by an industry-standard software toolchain and operating systems, the CN54XX offers major performance, power and real-estate value proposition over alternatives.

CN54XX is an ideal processor for fan-less Gigabit class telecom applications such as UMB, 4G, WiMAX base station, high performance mainstream enterprise router/switches, and Server offload co-processors/Network Interface Card applications. Industry's first Network Services Processor with less than 3 Watt/GHz power consumption across the 3 GHz to 6 GHz range.
