11. |  Designing SOCs with Configured Cores: Unleashing the Tensilica Xtensa and Diamond Cores By: Steve Leibson Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Publication Date: 11-JUL-2006 Insert Date: 28-JUL-2009 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Designing SOCs with Configured Cores: Unleashing the Tensilica Xtensa and Diamond Cores Microprocessor cores used for SOC design are the direct descendents of Intel's 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 previously compared and selected packaged microprocessor ICs. The big problem with this selection method is that it assumes that the laws of the microprocessor universe have remained unchanged for decades. This assumption is no longer valid. Processor cores for SOC designs can be far more plastic...
