3.E.2."Technology" according to the General Technology Note other than that specified in 3.E.1. for the "development" or "production" of a "microprocessor microcircuit", "microcomputer microcircuit" or microcontroller microcircuit core, having an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) with an access width of 32 bits or more and any of the following features or characteristics:

a. A 'vector processor unit' designed to perform more than two calculations on 'floating-point' vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 32-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously;
Technical Note
For the purposes of 3.E.2.a., a 'vector processor unit' is a processor element with built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on 'floating-point' vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 32-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously, having at least one vector ALU and vector registers of at least 32 elements each.
b. Designed to perform more than four 64-bit or larger 'floating-point' operation results per cycle; or
c. Designed to perform more than eight 16-bit 'fixed-point' multiply-accumulate results per cycle (e.g., digital manipulation of analogue information that has been previously converted into digital form, also known as digital "signal processing").
Note 1 3.E.2. does not apply to "technology" for multimedia extensions.
Note 2 3.E.2. does not apply to "technology" for micro-processor cores, having all of the following:
a. Using "technology" at or above 0.130 µm; and
b. Incorporating multi-layer structures with five or fewer metal layers.
Note 3 3.E.2. includes "technology" for the "development" or "production" of digital signal processors and digital array processors.
Technical Notes
1. For the purposes of 3.E.2.a. and 3.E.2.b., 'floating-point' is defined by IEEE-754.
2. For the purposes of 3.E.2.c.,'fixed-point' refers to a fixed-width real number with both an integer component and a fractional component, and which does not include integer-only formats.
