An '''application-specific instruction-set processor''' ('''ASIP''') is a component used in [[system-on-a-chip]] design. The [[instruction set]] of an ASIP is tailored to benefit a specific application. This specialization of the core provides a tradeoff between the flexibility of a general purpose [[Central processing unit|CPU]] and the performance of an [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC]].
