The differentiated features of the LS1088A are shown in the block diagram here. The LS1088A uses eight ARM Cortex-A53 running at 1.6 GHz with a 64-bit DDR controller with ECC. The processor cores run at less than 10 W, which gives an excellent performance/watt ratio. The LS1088A has 2 MB of L2 cache arranged in one cluster and no L3 cache. This arrangement reduces the average cache latency by 22% compared with products with multiple cores and L3 cache. Also worth noting are the Network interfaces with up to 2x 10 GbE and 8x 1 GbE, the DPAA for packet processing offload with an Advanced I/O processor that benefits Open and Virtualized functions, and the SEC block for crypto processing.
