Vortex86

The Vortex86 is an x86-compatible SoC processor. It was developed by Rise Technology, but was then SiS and eventually sold to DM & P Electronics. In January 2009, signed DM & P further into an agreement with Xcore that allows Xcore the chip to sell as Xcore86.

Variants

  • Vortex86 ( SiS55x/Rise mP6 ) SiS / Rise Technology developed three integer and MMX pipelines, branch prediction
  • Vortex86SX - 300 MHz, 32KiB L1 cache, no FPU, no L2 cache. Supports both SD and DDR2 Ram
  • Vortex86DX - 600 MHz to 1 GHz ( 2.02Watt @ 800Mhz ), 32KiB L1 cache, FPU, L2 cache 256kiB, six-stage pipeline. Supports up to DDR2 Ram 1GiB

The PDX -600 is a version of Vortex86DX which differ only in the number of serial ports ( 3 instead of 5 ) and the absence of I ² C bus and servo controllers is different and therefore less aimed at the industrial than in the embedded market. A netbook uses this chip.

  • Vortex86MX - TBA Q4 2009

DM & P provides an embedded Linux distribution that is adapted to the SoC. Prior to the acquisition of DM & P Vortex86 presented the M6117D compatible Intel i386SX, 25-40 MHz SoC ago.
