It is a “system-on-chip”, made on 45nm LP process, and supports the core clock frequency from 1 to 1.2 GHz. Each of the cores has 32 kilobytes of cache memory for data, 32 kilobytes of cache memory for instructions, as well as 1 megabyte cache of the second level. ')

There is support for dynamic virtual addressing and automatic interleaving. For the efficiency of power supply is responsible for the mechanism of dynamic changes in voltage and frequency. In addition, USN, HSIC, SATA, PCI Express and GPS are integrated into the chip.
