Editing CPU

== Overview ==
'''LSI CoreWare CW33300-based core'''
* MIPS R3000A-compatible 32-bit RISC CPU MIPS R3051 with 5&nbsp;KB L1&nbsp;cache, running at 33.8688&nbsp;MHz
* The microprocessor was manufactured by LSI Logic Corp. with technology licensed from SGI
* Features:
** Initial feature size (process node) was 0.5 micron (500&nbsp;nm)
** 850k – 1M transistors
** Operating performance: 30&nbsp;MIPS
** Bus bandwidth 132&nbsp;MB/s
** One arithmetic/logic unit (ALU)
** One shifter
* CPU cache:
** 4&nbsp;KB instruction cache
** 1&nbsp;KB non-associative SRAM data cache

'''Geometry Transformation Engine (GTE)'''
* Coprocessor that resides inside the main CPU processor, giving it additional vector math instructions used for 3D graphics, lighting, geometry, polygon and coordinate transformations - GTE performs high-speed matrix multiplications
* Operating performance: 66 MIPS
* Polygons per second (rendered in hardware):
** 90,000 with texture mapping, lighting and Gouraud shading
** 180,000 with texture mapping
** 360,000 with flat shading

'''Motion Decoder (MDEC)'''
* Also residing within the main CPU, enables full screen, high quality FMV playback and is responsible for decompressing images and video into VRAM
* Operating performance: 80 MIPS
* Documented device mode is to read three RLE-encoded 16×16 macroblocks, run IDCT and assemble a single 16×16 RGB macroblock
* Output data may be transferred directly to GPU via DMA
* It is possible to overwrite IDCT matrix and some additional parameters, however MDEC internal instruction set was never documented
* It is directly connected to a CPU bus

'''System Control Coprocessor (Cop0)'''
* This unit is part of the CPU. Has 16 32-bit control registers
* Modified from the original R3000A cop0 architecture, with the addition of a few registers and functions
* Controls memory management through virtual memory technique, system interrupts, exception handling, and breakpoints

== Revisions ==

=== CXD8530 ===
* CXD8530Q
** Found on some PU-7, very early/launch units
** Die size: 128 mm², 1M transistors
** Comes in a metal QFP package
* CXD8530AQ
** Found on some PU-7, mostly early/launch units
** Die size: 128 mm², 1M transistors
*** Not a die shrink; likely just some fixes and/or optimizations
** Comes in a metal QFP package
* CXD8530BQ
** Found on some PU-7
** Die size: 66 mm²
*** Huge die shrink, a lot of changes
** This revision and all later revisions are implemented in standard cells as an ASIC, which means there are less visible structures on the die
** This revision and all later revisions come in a plastic QFP package
* CXD8530CQ
** Found on some PU-8 and PU-16
** Die size: 66 mm²
*** Not a die shrink; likely just some fixes and/or optimizations

=== CXD8606 ===
From PU-18 onwards (SCPH-55XX), only CXD8606 was used.
* CXD8606Q
** Found on some PU-8 and PU-18
** Die size: 66 mm², 850k transistors
*** Not a die shrink; likely just some fixes and/or optimizations
* CXD8606AQ
** Found on some very late PU-8 and on some PU-18
** Die size: 26.5 mm²
*** Huge die shrink
* CXD8606BQ
** Found on some PU-20 as well as PU-22, PU-23 and earlier PM-41
** Die size: 26.5 mm²
*** Not a die shrink; likely just some fixes and/or optimizations
* CXD8606CQ
** Found on later PM-41
** Die size: 26.5 mm²
*** Not a die shrink; likely just some fixes and/or optimizations
