Part I. Overview

Addition of speed-for-power
functionality

The processor core implements an additional dynamic power management
mechanism. HID2[SFP] controls this function. See Section 2.3.1.2.3,
ÒHardware Implementation-Dependent Register 2 (HID2).

Improved access to cache during block
Þlls

The MPC8260 provides quicker access to incoming data and instruction on
a cache block Þll. See Section 2.4.2, ÒMPC8260 Implementation-SpeciÞc
Cache Implementation.

Improved integer divide latency

Performance of integer divide operations has been improved in the
processor core. A divide takes half the cycles to execute as described in
MPC603e UserÕs Manual. The new latency is reßected in Table 2-6.
