Tensilica's Xtensa LX2 processor takes application performance to new heights. It is the only processor core for system-on-chip (SOC) designs that provides the I/O bandwidth, compute parallelism, and low-power optimization equivalent to hand-optimized, RTL-designed non-programmable hardware blocks.
With Tensilica's unique XPRES Compiler and automated processor generator, every Tensilica customer is able to quickly generate a tailored version of the Xtensa LX2 optimized for their particular application, Ideal for handling traditional SOC embedded processor control tasks as well as compute-intensive datapath hardware tasks, the Xtensa LX2 processor is the basic building block for complex SOC design.
