LSI Logic Corp yesterday launched the next generation of its MIPS Technologies Inc RISC family for ASIC and embedded control applications, based on a new CPU core that is 50% faster – the 5V version has peak performance of 50 MIPS, the 3.3V 35 MIPS, and 70% smaller than its predecessor. The new CW33300 core can be used with other off-the-shelf cores from the Milpitas, California chipmaker, such as input-output and bus interfaces, cache memory, graphics engines and compression protocols – to design high-performance, systems-on-a-chip. The new MIPS Technologies portfolio includes embedded controllers, development tools and the Turbo Rocket evaluation board. No prices or availability details were given.
