PowerPC µP enhances embedded storage, networking apps
High-performance superscalar chip integrates PCI Express, PCI-X 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet Offered as the first processor with three independent PCI Express interfaces and one PCI-X version 2.0 interface, the PowerPC 440SPe is suited for use in demanding applications such as RAID controllers and storage area networking (SAN) equipment.
With the 440S series of PowerPC processors, AMCC provides high-performance, high-bandwidth processors for demanding storage applications such as disk-to-disk backup, near-line storage, network-attached storage (NAS), video, and high-performance computing. Sophisticated RAID-6 features enable recovery from multiple drive failures in high-reliability systems.
