Embedded systems see a steadily increasing bandwidth mismatch between raw processor MIPS and surrounding components. System performance is not solely dependent upon processor capability. While a processor with a higher MIPS specification can provide incremental system performance improvement, eventually the lagging surrounding components become a system performance bottleneck. This white paper examines some of the factors contributing to this. The analysis of bus and component performance leads to the conclusion that matching of processor and component performance provides a good cost-performance trade-off
