Freescale unveils versatile multi-core processor for telematics, consumer and industrial applications

Freescale introduced a system-on-chip processor optimized for high-performance, power-sensitive applications requiring complex graphics, multimedia and real-time audio processing.

Low-power system-on-chip device combines Power Architecture technology with integrated 3D graphics and multimedia acceleration cores

Built on Power Architecture technology, the MPC5121e SoC device is the latest member of Freescale's mobileGT processor family-the most widely used platform solution for telematics. Manufactured on advanced 90 nanometer low-power CMOS technology, the MPC5121e is designed to deliver exceptional multimedia performance and feature-rich user interfaces within a low power envelope, without sacrificing flexibility and robustness.

“The MPC5121e is Freescale's most powerful, feature-rich processor for telematics applications,” said Mike McCourt, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Microcontroller Division. “The device's multi-core architecture unites a Power Architecture core with a dedicated 2D/3D graphics core and a powerful co-processor enhanced for real-time audio and multimedia. The combined horsepower of these cores makes this processor ideal for next-generation applications that require sophisticated displays, graphics/multimedia acceleration, network connectivity and mass storage.”
