Tensilica Announces High-Performance ConnX Baseband Engine for LTE and 4G Wireless DSP Handsets and Base Stations

Source: Tensilica press release
Tensilica, Inc. today announced the first member of its new ConnX family of digital signal processor (DSP) cores for system-on-chip (SOC) design. The ConnX Baseband Engine enables efficient baseband processing for 3G, LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and 4G wireless equipment with its scalable, high-performance DSP architecture that provides industry leading computational throughput of 16 18-bit MACs per cycle. The ConnX Baseband Engine features an optimized instruction set, high memory bandwidth, scalable clustering, and efficient compiler support with an easy programming model for SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) vectorization and other DSP functions. This high performance core is also an effective solution for multi-standard fixed and mobile DTV broadcast demodulators.
