1. Introduction
IPQ8074 is an SoC for 11ax Wi-Fi Access Points, Retail Routers and Carrier Gateways.
 * The chip consists of a Wi-Fi subsystem, a networking subsystem and a CPU subsystem.

1.1 Functional block diagram
Core board (img)

1.2 Wi-Fi subsystem
The Wi-Fi subsystem supports 802.11ax. The IPQ8074 supports dual band dual current (DBDC) operation.
 * 12 antenna chains operate in a two radio configuration as 8×8 in 5GHz and 4×4 in 2.4GHz.

The Wi-Fi PHY rates equate to 5950Mbps, 4800Mbps for 5GHz and 1150Mbps for 2.4GHz, enabling an AX6000 product.

1.3 Networking subsystem
The networking subsystem is a high performance high throughput programmable offload engine to the networking stack
 * that runs on the Host CPU subsystem. It interfaces to 3 Ethernet SerDes to connect to external multi-GbE PHYs.

Two of the three SerDes support up to 10GbE PHY (either USXGMII, XFI, SGMII or SGMII+) while the third SerDes runs
 * in either PSGMII, QSGMII or SGMII mode to connect to QCA8075 (5 port GbE PHY array) or QCA803x (single port GbE PHY).

The networking subsystem is capable of classifying incoming packets at an aggregate throughput rate of 25Gbps,
 * 37.5 million packets per second (Mpps) for 64Byte packets.

This high performance ingress packet engine makes IPQ8074 very well suited to deliver Quality of Service (QoS)
 * for carrier gateway applications to guarantee zero packet loss for paid services like voice and video.

The networking subsystem performs standard routing/bridging within the WAN/LAN Ethernet ports at a peak rate of 37.5Mpps.
 * Advanced features including tunneling and de/fragmentation are performed by a networking processing unit (NPU) that
 * consists of dual 12 threaded programmable engines (UBI32 cores), each running at 1.5GHz for up to 2.2Mpps throughput.

IPQ8074 contains an in line security engine with AES 128/256, SHA1-96, 128, 256, 512 and 3DES for up to 5Gbps throughput.

1.4 CPU subsystem
The CPU subsystem consists of quad ARM Cortex A53s @2GHz, with 64 bit ISA v8 instruction set.
 * The I$/D$ sizes of core are 32kB, while the L2$ is 512kB. Each A53 core has a 64-bit Floating
 * Point/NEON DSP extension that could be used for enhanced audio/voice/video processing.

1.5 Interfaces and power management

IPQ8074 comes with advanced power management for lowest active and standby power consumption, making
 * it extremely valuable for carrier gateway and Enterprise AP power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
 * A companion PMIC PMP8074 is used to optimally manage active/standby power.
