PowerPC e700
{{POWER, PowerPC, and Power ISA}}
The PowerPC e700 or NG-64 (Next Generation 64-bit) were the codenames of Freescale's first 64-bit embedded RISC-processor cores.
In 2004 Freescale announced{{cite web | url=http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/homepage.jsp?nodeId=0162468rH3bTdG724972156402 | title=NXP® Semiconductors Official Site | Home }} a new high performance core. Not much was known about it. It would be a multi core, multithreaded design using CoreNet technology, shared with the e500mc core. It would be a three issue core with double precision FPU. Roadmaps showed a target frequency of 3+ GHz, manufactured on a 32 nm process and that the chips would be named on a MPC87xx scheme.
Freescale released a core with similar specifications in June 2010 called the e5500.[https://web.archive.org/web/20121031134803/http://blogs.freescale.com/2010/06/23/what%E2%80%99s-up-with-64-bit-embedded-computing/ What’s Up with 64-bit Embedded Computing?]
