BRISTOL, UK — Imagination Technologies has launched its I-class I6400 MIPS 64-bit processor with a focus on multithreading, multicore, and multicluster coherent processing that scales from a single core to hundreds.
The core is aimed at a wide range of applications, from embedded, mobile, digital consumer, and advanced communications to heavy lifting networking and storage. Imagination already has licensees in these areas, and the idea of clustering has driven key architectural choices between cores and between clusters. A new fabric to link cores into clusters gives significant advantages in being able to shut down individual cores to save power while maintaining coherency.
