1.0 About This Document
This document describes the parametric performance of Intel’s 80960Hx embedded superscalar
microprocessors. Detailed descriptions for functional topics, other than parametric performance,
are published in the i960
®
Hx Microprocessor User’s Guide (272484).
In this document, ‘80960Hx’ and ‘i960 Hx processor’ refer to the products described in Table 1 .
Throughout this document, information that is specific to each is clearly indicated.
2.0 Intel 80960Hx Processor
The Intel 80960Hx processor provides new performance levels while maintaining backward
compatibility (pin
1
and software) with the i960 CA/CF processor. This newest member of the
family of i960 32-bit, RISC-style, embedded processors allows customers to create scalable
designs that meet multiple price and performance points. This is accomplished by providing
processors that may run at the bus speed or faster using Intel’s clock multiplying technology
(see
Table 1 ). The 80960Hx core is capable of issuing 150 million instructions per second, using a
sophisticated instruction scheduler that allows the processor to sustain a throughput of two
instructions every core clock, with a peak performance of three instructions per clock. The
80960Hx-series comprises three processors, which differ in the ratio of core clock speed to external
bus speed.

1. The 80960Hx is not “drop-in” compatible in an 80960Cx-based system. Customers may design systems that accept either 80960Hx or Cx
processors.
