AMCC's 10 Gbps Network Processor to Complete Industry's= First Scalable, Software-Compatible 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps NPU Family=1DFourt= h-Generation nP7510 Network Processor Joins AMCC's nPX5700 and nPX5800 to C= omplete 10 Gbps Network Processor, Traffic Manager, and Switch Fabric Platf= orm SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct 22, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Micro Circu= its Corp.'s Switching and Network Processing Group (AMCC) (Nasdaq:AMCC) tod= ay announced the nP7510 10 Gbps Network Processor, which is expected to com= plete the industry's first software-compatible network processor (NPU) fami= ly that scales from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, from Fast Ethernet and OC-3 to 10 = Gbps Ethernet and OC-192 Packet over SONET (PoS) and ATM applications. Th= e nP7510 represents the fourth generation in the company's nP7000 family of= fully software-programmable, policy-enabled network processors, and with t= he nPsoft(TM) Development Environment, customers can easily preserve their = investments in software from previous generations. The nP7510 complements A= MCC's previously announced 10 Gbps traffic managers, framers, PHYs, and swi= tch fabrics to form the industry's first complete integrated solutions for = 10 Gbps rate metropolitan area (MAN) edge, access, core router, and other a= pplications. Designed with the company's core, patented Network-optimized I= nstruction Set Computing (NISC) technology, the nP7510 achieves 10 Gbps rat= es using just six of AMCC's own highly efficient nPcores(TM) and readily av= ailable .18-micron CMOS technology, reserving smaller process geometries fo= r future enhancements and multi-component integration. The maximum efficien= cy of AMCC's core NPU technology allows for even greater potential future s= caling to 40 Gbps OC-768 rates. "AMCC is a market and technology leader i= n the network processor industry," said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst o= f The Linley Group. "The nP7510 gives the company a significant lead over i= ts major competitors in delivering a 10 Gbps product. In addition, AMCC's c= ombination of compatible 10 Gbps network processor, traffic manager, framer= , PHY, and switch fabric components lets designers reduce time-to-market an= d risk." The nP7510 represents the fourth-generation of AMCC's nP7000 fam= ily of fully software-programmable, policy-enabled network processors and i= s capable of wire-speed processing at 10 Gbps rates. The network processor = offers enhanced debugging capabilities and minimized intrusiveness over pre= vious generations with its On-Chip Debug Engine, allowing programmers incre= ased visibility and flexibility when debugging code. The nP7510 features a = new optimized memory interface for the six patented, highly efficient nPcor= es(TM), enabling new savings in internal memory space. The device also supp= orts a greater number of simultaneous tasks, or threads, than prior network= processor generations. The nP7510 is complemented by AMCC's nPsoft(TM) Dev= elopment Environment, including C/C++ compiler, assembler, performance prof= iling utilities, graphical symbolic debugger, the nPsoft Services framework= and API, and the core nPkernel layer that ensures developers can easily pr= eserve software investments from prior generations. Ready-to-use switching,= IP routing, MPLS, and ATM application libraries from AMCC and its software= partners provide even greater options for fully integrated turnkey solutio= ns. "Our field-proven, now fourth generation core technology not only let= s us produce a wire-speed OC-192 NPU, but enables a complete scalable famil= y, from OC-3 to potential future OC-768 line rates, without a major archite= ctural overhaul," said Andy Gottlieb, vice president of marketing for AMCC'= s Switching and Network Processing Group. "AMCC's scalable core technology = and complementary software architecture make possible new highly scalable c= omplete network equipment systems products with a wide range of interface a= nd uplink speeds, and our existing customers can leverage their prior softw= are investments to further reduce both risk and time-to-market." While th= e nP7510 can be used in a variety of configurations, including easy combina= tion with other vendors or customers' own silicon, the nP7510 further demon= strates AMCC's leadership in providing complete high-bandwidth silicon solu= tions for intelligent optical networks by combining seamlessly with AMCC's = complete family of 10 Gbps solutions. These include Khatanga, AMCC's recent= ly announced OC-192 framer, the nPX5700 feature-rich traffic management chi= pset, and AMCC's nPX5800 and nPX8000 families of multi-technology IP/ATM sw= itch fabric solutions that scale from 20 Gbps to terabit ranges. Pricing = and Availability The nP7510 is packaged in a 1428-pin Flip Chip BGA and is= expected to begin sampling in January. It is priced at $700.00 in volume q= uantities of 10K.
