Marvell Discovery V vs 8641 vs Tundra TSI108
« on: October 18, 2005, 08:15:34 PM »
Marvell had announced new Discovery V chipset for PowerPC G4 and IBM 750FL/GL series (Freescale MPC7447A/7448A and IBM750FL/GL).
The samples of this product will be available on the first quarter of 2006.
Can this product compete with Freescale 8641 System on Chip, 8641D SOC or Tundra TSI108 chipset?
What about the price/performance?

"The Discovery V system controller integrates several I/O peripherals on-chip, including a DDR2 memory controller, a PowerPC CPU interface, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X and PCI-E bridges, storage functions, and a USB 2.0 interface. The Discovery V is software compatible with legacy Marvell Discovery system controllers, preserving the customer’s software investment while accelerating development cycles."

> BGA pins problem

What if Freescale mass-manufacture 8641 or 8641D CPU module card with DIMM or SO-DIMM edge connectors?
(see ColdFire CPU module and carrier).

Can this processor module solve the problem?

There is a rumor about Tundra's plan to release high end "all-in-one" PowerPC 970 SOC. Can this product compete in Price/Performance against 8641 / 8641D?
