Template:mpu R-Car E1 is an entry-level performance embedded SoC for the automotive industry designed by Renesas and introduced in 2011. The E1 features a single Cortex-A9 core operating at 533 MHz. This chip incorporates Imagination's PowerVR SGX531 GPU operating at 177 MHz. This SoC supports up to 1 GiB of DDR3-1066 memory.

Announced in mid-2011, Renesas expected the E1 to begin mass production in June 2012 and reach a rate of 100,000 units per month in June 2013.

Cache

Main article: Cortex-A9 § 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.
