The APM82181 and APM82161 single-core high-performance processors target multifunction storage applications and media servers for the connected digital home. The devices offer up to 600-MHz, 800-MHz, and 1-GHz CPU speeds and up to 2,000 DMIPS.

The 18 X 18-mm FBGA345-packaged chips typically take less than 3.5 W in operation and less than 0.6 W in standby. The ICs feature a 128-bit high-bandwidth bus architecture and PCI-Express, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 OTG interfaces. They also have a 256-Kbyte L2 cache, a FPU, a 16/32-bit DDR-2 SDRAM memory controller, a turbo security engine, and a NAND flash controller. (From $20 ea/10,000 samples available now.)
