TMS320C66x High-Performance Multicore DSPs

Scalable C66x multicore DSP devices deliver 5x the performance of any DSP

TI's TMS320C66x generation of multicore DSPs feature the industry's first 10-GHz DSP with a combined fixed- and floating-point performance of 320 GMACs and 160 GFLOPs on a single device. These multicore DSPs are based on TI's KeyStone multicore architecture -- the platform for true multicore innovation that has the capacity to provide full processing capability to every core in a multicore device. KeyStone-based devices are optimized for high-performance markets including wireless base stations, mission critical, test & automation, medical and high-end imaging and high-performance computing.
