Template:mpu K3V1 is a 32-bit performance ARM microprocessor introduced by HiSilicon in 2008. This chip incorporates a single ARM9 core with Jazelle support operating at 460 MHz (although later models might have supported higher frequency). This chip supports 32-bit or 16-bit DDR memory.

Cache

Main article: ARM9 § 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.
