lProcessors used to be custom designed.
¡Sophisticated circuit structures.
¡Efficient (can implement TLA buffers, specialize
RAM.)
¡High frequency (700~1000MHz.
lHowever, requires a lot of development time, and most cases not efficiently designed.
lNot suited for embedded systems:
¡Use different CAD tools than the rest of the
system.
¡Hard to modify to better match the application.
