TI Announces New OMAP Processor
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 05:00 PM
"Texas Instruments (TI) has announced its next generation ARM-based OMAP 1710 processor, claiming that it offers a 40 percent performance improvement over previous version but with less than half the power consumption. OMAP processors are used in a range of smartphone and handheld products to support multimedia and wireless data features.
The 1710 is the first mobile processor to use 90 nm technology. It also maintains backwards software compatibility with previous OMAP processors, allowing TI's existing development community to easily port their applications to the new chip. There is a dedicated DSP for handling full-motion video and audio."
40 percent performance increase at half the power? Bring it on TI, bring it on! I wonder if we'll see a processor like this in a phone edition device?
