picoChip Designs has sampled its first device, the PC101, which delivers a massive computational power of 30GMACs per second.
While the three devices each have different performance and features, they all integrate around 200 or more individual processors onto each die and deliver over 100GIPs and 25GMACs - dramatically better performance than legacy single-core DSPs.
With pricing from just $25 in high volume, this achieves the $1-per-GMAC metric, enabling unprecedented performance at consumer price-points.
The PC202 and 205 also integrate a powerful ARM9 processor.
