Intel 准备研发新式网络处理器

[vikyzhang]

“（Intel新式网络处理器）这一新的平台代号Crystal Forest （水晶森林），每秒将提供高达1.60亿包转发能力。当前，许多网络供应商在它们的装置中使用的是应用程序特定的集成芯片（ASIC，application-specific integrated circuits ），而Crystal Forest 从本质上有点不同。”

“Crystal Forest 由一个标准Intel CPU 和一个伴随芯片组成，二者都被置入其标准 32nm （纳米）处理器中。”

"The new platform is codenamed Crystal Forest and will provide as much as 160 million packets per second of forwarding capacity. Currently, many networking vendors use application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) in their gear, but Crystal Forest is actually is a bit different.

Crystal Forest is a combination of a standard Intel CPU and a companion chip, which are both built within Intel抯 standard 32nm (nanometer) process.
