This product brief provides an overview of the P5020
QorIQ communications processor features as well as
application use cases.
The P5020 combines two Power Architecture®
processor cores with high-performance datapath
acceleration logic and network and peripheral bus
interfaces required for control processing in applications
such as routers, switches, internet access devices,
firewall and other packet filtering processors, network
attached storage, storage area networks, imaging and
general-purpose embedded computing. Its high level of
integration offers significant performance benefits and
greatly helps to simplify board design.
