A: Substantially faster: Depending on the benchmark used to compare devices, the difference ranges from about 8 to 12 times faster. For instance, since the VRS51L2070/3xxx does not include a x12 clock divisor between the oscillator and the system clock, theoretically, the VRS51L2070/3xxx is 12 times faster than industry standard 8051 MCUs.
In a recent study conducted by Ramtron, we compared the processing power of the VRS51L2070/3xxx vs. a standard 8051 while executing 16-tap FIR filtering calculations. The VRS51L2070/3xxx performed about 8 times faster than the standard 8051. |
