A 4-way SIMD streaming processor of a cell processor is developed in a 90nm SOI technology. CMOS static gates implement the majority of the logic. Dynamic circuits are used in critical areas, occupying 19% of the non-SRAM area. ISA, microarchitecture, and physical implementation are co-optimized to achieve a compact and power efficient design
