[edit] Not objective
This text looks like an advertisment... Not up to Wikipedia standards... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.8.50.107 (talk) 13:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree completely. I'm flagging the article. I wouldn't be surprised to discover that a lot of this is copied from XTensa marketing literature. 18.26.0.45 (talk) 16:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Specific actionable items:
- The article uses phrases that are non-objective. Examples: "two essential, unique features", "takes the configurable, extensible processor to the next level".
- The article makes claims without support: "exceptional computational performance", "Extremely efficient base architecture".
Basically, all the text that reads like an XTensa advertisement needs to be edited/removed. Any claims about performance need to either be substantiated with references to objective benchmarks, or clearly marked as claims.
I too agree that this article needs cleanup a lot and looks more like an advertisement rather than an providing information objectively.
Below points need data and substantiating proof for being more wikipedic:
...Xtensa LX2 takes the configurable, extensible processor to the next level with RTL-equivalent bandwidth and exceptional computational performance...
...highly flexible processor is ideal for DSP and data-intensive functions. Tensilica's Xtensa 7 configurable, extensible processor is optimized for low-power applications and is ideal for control and DSP operations. - requires substantiation
...takes application performance to new heights
...only processor core for system-on-chip (SOC) designs that provides the I/O bandwidth, compute parallelism, and low-power optimization equivalent to hand-optimized, RTL-designed non-programmable hardware blocks.
...Using Tensilica’s Xtensa software-development tools, SOC designers can profile their application software, configure the Xtensa LX2 processor and add new instructions to optimize performance, all in a matter of hours.
Below points need engineering and technical data with real world numbers and examples:
...• Lower power – ...
...• I/O throughput at RTL speeds – ... comparison data required
...• Outstanding compute performance - ...
...• Better interfaces to on-chip memories - ...
