Template:mpu Am2070 was an MPPA designed by Ambric and announced for late 2008 or early 2009. This model was designed to be fabricated using a 90 nm process and incorporate roughly 70 Brics for a total for around 560 cores operating at up to 600 MHz. It's unknown if this chip ever made it to market in any form prior to Ambric's acquisition by Nethra Imaging in 2009 (although other models continued to be manufactured well into 2012).
