interrupt latency, hardware divide, interruptible/continuable multiple load and store
instructions, automatic state save and restore for interrupts, tightly integrated interrupt
controller with Wake-up Interrupt Controller and multiple core buses capable of
simultaneous accesses.
 Supports 3 stage pipelining
 Based on Harvard architecture
