The CN3005-500 SCP is a 64-bit single-core MIPS secure communication microprocessor (SCP) designed by Cavium and introduced in early 2006. This processor, which incorporates a single cnMIPS core, operates at 500 MHz and dissipates 4 Watts. This processors includes a number of hardware security communication accelerators including units for encryption, QoS, and TCP acceleration. This MPU supports up to 2 GiB of DDR2-533 memory.

Cache[edit]

[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.
