Santa Clara, CA — (press release excerpt) — PMC-Sierra announced that it is sampling its highly integrated RM9000x2 64-bit MIPS-based dual processor. The RM9000x2 device is running the Linux operating system at 1.0 GHz, and draws less than 10 watts of total device power with each processor running at 1 GHz and all of the memory and I/O interfaces running at maximum frequency.

The RM9000x2 integrates multiple high-speed bus interfaces, to enable low latency access to main memory and high bandwidth to external I/O devices.

The RM9000x2 targets high-touch, performance-driven applications such as edge routers, DSLAMs, and wireless base stations.
