Product Brief
OVERVIEW
T
he OCTEON™ Plus CN52XX family of Multi-core MIPS64 processors targets intelligent networking, control plane, security, and
wireless applications in next-generation equipment from 500Mbps to 4Gbps performance. The family includes four di erent
software-compatible parts, with two to four cnMIPS64 cores on a single chip that integrate next-generation SERDES based
networking I/Os along with the most advanced security and application hardware acceleration to deliver a robust performance,
power and real-estate value proposition over alternative solutions.
