About the Motorola/Freescale PowerPC G47447A Processors used in the MAXPower G4 Upgrade:
The Motorola/Freescale MPC7447A processor is a high-performance, low-power, 32-bit implementation of the PowerPC RISC architecture. Key architectural features include 512 KB of on-chip L2 cache, a 64-bit bus interface and a full 128-bit implementation of Freescale's AltiVec technology. The MPC7447A processors are ideal for leading-edge computing, embedded network control and signal processing applications.
MPC7447A processors benefit from Freescale's silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process technology, engineered to help deliver significant power savings without sacrificing speed.
The MPC7447A offers eight instruction BAT and data BAT registers to help support lightweight embedded operating systems, enabling more large tables of data. The processors also provide cache locking to the L1 caches so that key performance algorithms and code can be locked in the L1 cache.
Quiet
and cool running, these upgrades are simple
to install, taking less than 10 minutes.
