Template:mpu Godson-2G is a 64-bit MIPS performance processor developed by ICT and later Loongson for desktop computers. Introduced in late-2010, the Godson-2G operates at up to 1 GHz consuming up to 4 W. This chip was manufactured on STMicroelectronics' 65 nm process.

This specific models incorporates a considerably larger 2nd level cache compared to the rest of the Godson 2 family along with an extended number of additional interfaces in a relatively large package. The Godson-2G integrates the majority of the southbridge on-die.

Cache

Main article: GS464 § Cache

[Edit/Modify Cache Info]

Cache Organization Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory. The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC. Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies. Note: All units are in kibibytes and mebibytes.
