What's _NP ?
Network Processor. But that is too narrow a descriptor. This is going to be
used in
other areas besides networking.
I’m contemplating calling it AIRMONT2
What would describe the special sause that warranted a new SOC? If this
thing is marketed as 'Network Processor' then I suppose we can actually
use it, esp. if we're going to see this more, like the MID thing -- that
lived for a while over multiple uarchs.
Note that for the big cores we added the NNPI thing, which was for
Neural Network Processing something.
INTEL_FAM6_ATOM_AIRMONT_NP was used keeping in mind the recommended
symbol naming form i.e. INTEL_FAM6{OPTFAMILY}_{MICROARCH}{OPTDIFF}
where OPTDIFF is supposed to be the market segment.
This SoC uses AMT (Admantium/Airmont) configuration which is supposed to be
a higher configuration. Looking at other existing examples, it seems that
INTEL_FAM6_ATOM_AIRMONT_PLUS is most appropriate. Would you have any
concerns with _PLUS name ? Thanks.
