A 2.6GHz Dual-Core 64bx86 Microprocessor with DDR2 Memory Support

A microprocessor featuring 2 Hammer cores and an on-chip DDR2 memory controller implements Pacifica architectural support for virtualization. It is fabricated in a 90nm triple-Vt partially-depleted SOI process with 9 layers of copper interconnect. The chip achieves a clock frequency of 2.6GHz at 1.35V while dissipating 95W
