The Philips PNX1302 Processor

The Philips developed PNX1302 is a high-performance programmable single-chip processor that delivers real-time processing of audio, video, graphics, and communications datastreams. The Nexperia (TriMedia) PNX1302 employs a typical Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture capable of 720 MFLOPS/900 MIPS peak and has a 32-bit CPU that connects instruction and data caches at rates of 4 GB/sec and 1100MB/sec peak. By incorporating the Philips Nexperia processor into the Fast-64, customers and developers can significantly increase their processing power enabling them to work more efficiently and cost effectively.
