“Ubicom specializes in Linux-ready multithreaded networking and
media processors for the home and small business (SMB) markets. In
March, it released a networked audio player reference design using
the StreamEngine IP7500 variant of its IP7000 platform (see block
diagram below). Whereas the IP7500 was optimized for lossless audio
transmission and playback, the IP7100 version incorporated in the
IP7100 Router Gateway focuses on networking throughput. The router
platform is designed for OEMs and ODMs who want to rapidly develop
router products for consumer, SOHO, and SMB markets, says the
company.“The IP7000 family of networking and multimedia processors
offers a 12-way multithreaded architecture that can be clocked at
up to 600MHz. The 14 x 14mm chip provides two to three times the
performance at the same frequency compared with a traditional
single-threaded RISC processor, claims Ubicom”
