HARDCORE PROCESSORS
A processor built from dedicated silicon is referred as a hard-core processor.
It is a fabricated integrated circuit that may or may not to be embedded into additional logic. Typically have slower clock speed than general purpose processors.
HARDCORE PROCESSORS
Example-
POWERPC 405
Jointly developed by AIM (APPLE,IBM,MOTOROLA)
DESIGN FEATURES
32-bit RISC embedded processor 5 stage pipeline L1 cache memory(16 KB instruction,16 KB data) operated in both bigendian and little-endian modes
POWERPC VS PENTIUM
In Communications applications
OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON HARDCOR PROCESSOR Oriented toward the general-purpose PowerPC systems. Eg. windows NT3.51&4.0,LINUX
