| Multicore processing technology is continuing to evolve, and creative new architectures are showing up to do more work with less power consumption. A good example is the new Netronome NFP-32xx family, delivering more than 1.838 billion instructions per watt in a profile of 15 to 35 W. Thes... |
| Netronome, a leading developer of highly programmable semiconductor products that provide intelligent and secure flow processing for virtualized servers and network equipment, today announced the availability of the NFP-32xx family of Network Flow Processors(tm). The NFP-32xx is the industry’s first processor to remove the barriers in unified computing architectures by combining the NFP’s high-performance network, content and security processing with general purpose processors, such as Intel’s IA, through I/O virtualization[]. Additionally, the NFP-32xx is the only line of processors backward-compatible with the market-leading Intel(r) IXP28XX, protecting customers’ investment in field-proven and network-hardened software. |
