The new latency is reßected in Table 2-6.
2.8 Differences between the MPC8260Õs Core and the
PowerPC 603e Microprocessor
The MPC8260Õs processor core is a derivative of the MPC603e microprocessor design.
Some changes have been made and are visible either to a programmer or a system designer.
Any software designed around an MPC603e is functional when replaced with the
MPC8260 except for the speciÞc customer-visible changes listed in Table 2-7.

Any software designed around an MPC603e is functional when replaced with the
MPC8260 except for the speciÞc customer-visible changes listed in Table 2-7.
Software can distinguish between the MPC603e and the MPC8260 by reading the
processor version register (PVR). The MPC8260Õs processor version number is 0x0081; the
processor revision level starts at 0x0100 and is incremented for each revision of the chip.

Description
Impact
Added bus multipliers of 4.5x, 5x, 5.5x,
6x, 6.5x 7x, 7.5x, 8x
6x, 6.5x 7x, 7.5x, 8x
Occupies unused encodings of the PLL_CFG[0Ð4]
No FPU
Floating-point arithmetic instructions are not supported in hardware.
Added hardware support for
misaligned little endian accesses
misaligned little endian accesses
Except for strings/multiples, little-endian load/store accesses not on a word
boundary generate exceptions under the same circumstances as big-
endian accesses.

endian accesses.
Removed misalignment support for
eciwx and ecowx instructions.
eciwx and ecowx instructions.
These instructions take an alignment exception if not on a word boundary.
Added ability to broadcast dcbf, dcbi,
and dcbst onto the 60x bus

Setting HID0[ABE] enables the new broadcast feature (new in the PID7v-
603e). The default is to not broadcast these operations.

Added ability to reßect the value of the
M bit onto the 60x bus during
instruction translations

Removed HID0[EICE]
There is no support for ICE pipeline tracking.
Added instruction and data cache
locking mechanism
locking mechanism
Implements a cache way locking mechanism for both the instruction and
data caches. One to three of the four ways in the cache can be locked with
control bits in the HID2 register. See Section 2.3.1.2.3, ÒHardware
Implementation-Dependent Register 2 (HID2).Ó

Added pin-conÞgurable reset vector
The value of MSR[IP], interrupt preÞx, is determined at hard reset by the
hardware conÞguration word.
