PowerPC e6500
The PowerPC e6500 is a multithreaded 64-bit Power ISA-based microprocessor core from Freescale Semiconductor (now part of NXP).e6500 will power the entire range of QorIQ AMP Series system on a chip (SoC) processors which share the common naming scheme: "Txxxx".Hard samples, manufactured on a 28 nm process, available in early 2012 with full production later in 2012.Speeds range up to 2.5 GHz, and the core is designed to be highly configurable via the CoreNet fabric and meet the specific needs of embedded applications with features like multi-core operation and interface for auxiliary application processing units (APU).The e6501 core is a revision introduced in 2013 with enhanced virtualization interrupt support.
