OCTEON II CN68XX Multi-Core MIPS64 Processors
Product Brief
OVERVIEW
The OCTEON II CN68XX family of Multi-Core MIPS64 Processors targets high-performance, high-throughput,
service-rich applications in secure datacenter, mobile internet, and borderless enterprise applications. The family
includes six software and pin-compatible processors, with 16 to 32 cnMIPS64 v2 cores, over 85 application
acceleration engines, and innovative realtime Power Optimizer features, providing the highest compute and services
performance of any standard ISA processor with the highest performance per Watt. Extremely high-bandwidth
connectivity based on the latest standards-based SERDES I/O’s including PCIe Gen2, XAUI, Double-speed XAUI,
RXAUI, and Interlaken enable throughputs over 40Gbps using a single chip or scaling to over 100Gbps using
multiple chips. The CN68XX o ers a 3x compute advantage and 2x performance per Watt advantage over
alternative solutions.
