What type of ARM is used in 10-Gb Ethernet chip?

Hi,

I heard that some 10-Gb Ethenet chip embedded an ARM core. I am curious about what type of ARM (A, M or R) is embedded in such a high speed Ethernet ASIC. I feel that it may be a R series ARM. Is it right? Due to such a high speed data rate, what chip would be, is it A11, or A15?

Thanks,

  • Hello,

    any ARM cores don't include the Ethernet interface because they are pure CPUs.

    Some Soc of which CPU cores are Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A57 include 10Gb Ethernet  feature.

    For example TI's KetStone 66AK2H14 or 66AK2E05, Calxeda's ECX-2000 or Freescale's QorIQ LS2 Family includes it.

    Best regards,
