MIPS Technologies has announced the availability of "hard core" versions of its MIPS32 4Kc and 4Km 32bit processor cores.
RMI's new XLR processing solution, which is sampling now, is based on 32 threads powered by an enhanced MIPS64 CPU operating at up to 1.5GHz.
The XLR processor is a key enabler for the growing convergence of networking and computing applications - including integrated security (firewall, VPN, antivirus, intrusion prevention), web services, virtualised storage, load balancing, server offload and intelligent routing and switching.
RMI has also been shipping the MIPS64-based XL family of processors for two years.
"We're delighted to be working with MIPS Technologies", said Nazar Zaidi, Vice President Product Development and General Manager, Advanced Processor Solutions, RMI.
"The MIPS architecture is the industry standard for embedded applications because of its acknowledged performance advantage and robust ecosystem of software and tools".
"The scalability, flexibility and functionality of the MIPS64 architecture made this the ideal choice for our new generation of threaded processors".
"We are pleased that Raza Microelectronics has decided to make such a major commitment to the MIPS architecture", said Jack Browne, VP of Worldwide Sales, MIPS Technologies.
"It's exciting to be such an integral part of the development of a processor family that is not only an industry first, but will provide RMI's customers with a significant competitive advantage when it comes to performance, multitasking capabilities and throughput".
