Designing SOCs with configured cores : unleashing the Tensilica Xtensa and diamond cores /
Microprocessor cores used for SOC design are the direct descendents of Intels original 4004 microprocessor. Just as packaged microprocessor ICs vary widely in their attributes, so do microprocessors packaged as IP cores. However, SOC designers still compare and select processor cores the way they pr...
