Freescale Semiconductor QorIQ P5020/P5010 Block Diagram

The dual-core P5020 and single-core P5010 processors are Freescale's first offerings with the 64-bit, e5500 core built on Power Architecture technology. With frequencies scalable to 2.2 GHz frequency, large caches and high per-cycle efficiency, these products target control plane and compute applications that require high performance. The P5020 and P5010 processors offer Freescale's highest single-threaded performance for embedded control plane applications. The P5020 delivers 13,200 DMIPs in 30 Watts. The P5 platform leverages architectural features pioneered in the P4 platform, including the three-level cache hierarchy for low latencies, hardware hypervisor for robust virtualization support, data path acceleration architecture for offloading packet handling tasks from the core, and the CoreNet switch fabric which eliminates internal bottlenecks. This enables architectural compatibility from the P5 platform to the P4 and P3 platforms.
