Architecture with integrated L2 cache and EJTAG:
668, 750, 835 and 900 MHz operating frequency.
1890 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS @ 900MHz.
Dual-issue superscalar 7-stage pipeline.
16 Kbyte, 4-way set associative L1 Instruction cache.
16 Kbyte, 4-way set associative L1 Data cache.
256 Kbyte, 4-way set associative L2 cache with industry best 5-
cycle access latency.
Fast Packet Cache to assists processing of packet data.
8K entry branch prediction table.
Fully associative 64-entry TLB with dual pages.
High-performance Floating Point Unit (IEEE 754).
Fixed-point DSP instructions such as Multiply/Add,
Multiply/Subtract, and 3 Operand Multiply.
High-performance system interface:
32-bit multiplexed address/data (SysAD) bus with RM7935.
64-bit SysAD with RM7965.
Multiple outstanding reads with out-of-order return.
1600 Mbyte/s peak throughput.
200 MHz maximum frequency using HSTL signaling on the SysAD
bus.
SysAD bus supports 1.5 V, 2.5 V, 3.3V I/O logic.

8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
Integrated on-chip EJTAG capability.
A 64-entry dynamic Trace Buffer for use in real-time trace and
debug.
Two 32-bit virtually-addressed Watch registers.
Integrated performance counters:
2 independent 32-bit counters.
Counts over 30 processor events including miss predicted
branches.
Enables full characterization and analysis of application
software.
