草榴社区 ARC EM4 and EM6 Processors

The 草榴社区 ARC? EM4 and EM6 processors are optimized for use in embedded and deeply embedded applications where high performance with minimum power consumption is essential. The cores offer outstanding performance density, delivering 1.81 DMIPS/MHz and 4.18 CoreMark/MHz within a very small footprint and extremely low power consumption.

The 草榴社区 ARC EM4 and EM6 processors are based on the ARCv2 instruction set architecture (ISA) and pipeline, which provides leadership power efficiency and code density.

Both the ARC EM4 and EM6 support up to 2MB of closely coupled memory and are ideal for embedded applications in consumer, IoT, networking, automotive and other power- and cost-sensitive applications. The ARC EM6 processor also supports up to 64KB of instruction and data cache.
