●Overview
●The T4240, with 24 virtual cores, is the flagship of the QorIQ® T series. With the T4160 (16 virtual cores) and T4080 (8 virtual cores), the T4 family has a 3x performance scaling factor within a pin compatible package. Low-power variants are also available: T4241 (24 threads), T4161 (16 threads), and T4081 (8 threads).
●With frequencies scaling to 1.8 GHz, integrated 1Gbps and 10Gpbs Ethernet, hardware acceleration and advanced system peripherals, these products target applications that benefit from consolidation of control and data plane processing in a single SoC, such as services cards, microservers, ADCs, WOCs, intelligent NICS, RNCs.
