High-performance 32-bit multi-core processor with AI acceleration engine

C860 utilizes a 12-stage superscalar pipeline, with a standard memory management unit, and can run Linux and other operating systems. It also utilizes a 3-issue and 8-execution deep out-of-order execution architecture, with a single/double-precision floating point engine. It can be equipped with an AI acceleration engine. It is suitable for application fields requiring high server performance, such as intelligent monitoring, machine vision and edge servers.
