Overview
The T2080 QorIQ integrated multicore communications processor combines 4 dualthreaded cores built on Power Architecture® technology with high-performance data path acceleration and network and peripheral bus interfaces required for networking, telecom/ datacom, wireless infrastructure, and military/aerospace applications.
This chip can be used for combined control, data path, and application layer processing in routers, switches, gateways, and general-purpose embedded computing systems. Its high level of integration offers significant performance benefits compared to multiple discrete devices, while also simplifying board design.
