- The industry's first detailed chip featuring 100, 64-bit ARM cores
- The Tile-Mx devices will perform control plane processing and data plane processing
- The 100-core chip will have 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports and support 200 Gigabit duplex traffic
EZchip has detailed the industry's first 100-core processor. Dubbed the Tile-Mx100, the processor will be the most powerful of a family of devices aimed at such applications as software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualisation (NFV), load-balancing and security. Other uses include video processing and application recognition, to identify applications riding over a carrier's network.
