Abstract :
The dual-core PA6T-1682M system on chip (SoC) is the first design in the PWRficient family of high-performance, low-power processor designs that target server-class performance with low power consumption. the heart of the PA6T-1682M is the PA6T core, which implements the 64-bit IBM power architecture. The SoC implements extensive features that support embedded and mobile low-power applications.
