Press Release

Montreal, Quebec ( connect2business ) July 17, 2013 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces immediate availability of extremely fast, perfectly balanced QorIQ T4240/T4160 Multicore Processors from Freescale.

The T4 processor( http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Search.aspx?dsNav=Ntk:ManufacturerPartNumberUpshiftedSearch%7C*PT4*%7C1%7C,Ny:True,Ro:0,Nea:True,N:4294924955 ) family's high level of integration offers significant space, weight and power benefits compared to multiple discrete devices. With frequencies scaling up to 1.8GHz, large caches, hardware acceleration and modern system peripherals, these products target applications that benefit from consolidation of control and data plane processing into a single SoC.

The T4 processor family is based on the Power Architecture® e6500 core. The e6500 core uses a seven-stage pipeline for low latency response to unpredictable code execution paths, thereby boosting single-threaded performance. The e6500 core also offers higher aggregate instructions per clock at lower power levels with an innovative "fused core" approach to threading. The cores' fully resourced dual threads provide 1.7 times the performance of a single thread. The e6500 cores are clustered in banks of four cores sharing a 2MB L2 cache, allowing efficient sharing of code and data within a multicore cluster. Each e6500 core implements Freescale's AltiVec technology SIMD engine, dramatically boosting the performance of media and networking algorithms, offering native in-line programming and using less power than a separate DSP or ASIC.

Features include up to 1.8GHz dual threaded operation, 6.0DMIPS/MHz per core, and advanced power saving modes including state retention power gating. Networking applications include service provider wired/wireless, enterprise routing and switching, data center equipment, and storage controllers; Industrial applications include transportation and aerospace, medical, and industrial computing.
