At the most basic level, each physical link through the NoC is limited by the raw possible bandwidth of a physical link, ignoring packetization overheads. Read responses have no packet header overheads and can achieve this bandwidth. Write requests have a header flit and so need some derating.

The following table shows the maximum operating frequency of the NoC packet transport for each AMD Versalâ„¢ speed grade.
Table 1. NoC Clock Frequency per Speed Grade
Speed Grade -1LP -1MP -2LP -2MP -2HP -3HP
NoC Frequency (MHz) 960 960 1000 1000 1080 1080
The following table shows the physical link bandwidth before any packetization overheads are considered.
Table 2. Raw Link Physical Bandwidth
