PowerPC: Freescale MPC7448 mass production in October
At the Frescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida Freescale announced today mass production of their latest high end processor MPC7448 will start in October. The 7448 is the first ppc using Freescale'e new e600 core which has a 1 MB 2nd level cache (doubled in comparision to the 7447), an improved Altivec unit (out of order sequences) and a faster external bus (up to 200 Mhz) (Out-of-Order-Befehlsfolge), but it keeps pin and binary compatible with it's predecessor (MPC7447).
Due to the newly introduced 90 nanometer process and other detail improvements the MPC7448 will not only consume less energy than the 7447 but also allow to go for higher clock rates. Production from October on will reach 1.7 Ghz. (cg) (Translation: ub)
