PowerPC 460SX
Targets: Computers & Peripherals
The PowerPC460SX is AppliedMicro's storage processor family. Based on the Power Architecture standard, the PowerPC 460SX storage processor integrates a PowerPC core and specialized functions for high-performance storage and storage networking applications. The PowerPC 460SX targets the requirements of server direct-attached and external storage applications. The combination of high-performance IO and memory subsystems also make the PowerPC 460SX suitable for high-bandwidth protocol bridging applications. The PowerPC 460SX, with clock frequencies ranging from 833MHz to 1.4GHz, provides multiple PCI Express Gen 2 interfaces for high bandwidth peripheral connectivity and efficient PCIe to PCIe bridging. For storage applications, the PowerPC 460SX provides high throughput RAID 5 and RAID 6 hardware-acceleration support capable of achieving 1500MB/s RAID 5 and 1400MB/s RAID 6 full stripe write performance. It also includes XTS-AES and GCM-AES encryption acceleration that is compliant with the IEEE 1619 and 1619.
