The first independent, in-depth report to evaluate the ADI/Intel Micro Signal Architecture (MSA), a low-power dual-MAC DSP core jointly developed by Analog Devices (ADI) and Intel. This report provides a comprehensive qualitative analysis of the processor's architecture and features, along with a complete quantitative analysis based on results from BDTI's DSP benchmark suite. The performance of the MSA core is compared to that of key competitors, with benchmark results analyzed in terms of underlying architectural strengths and weaknesses. The report includes benchmark results and analysis of ADI's first product based on the MSA, the "Blackfin" ADSP-21535.
