Texas Instruments yesterday announced its latest mobile processor, the 1.8GHz dual-core OMAP4470, “designed to deliver the perfect balance between processing power, graphics, display subsystem functionality and multilayered user interface (UI) composition.” It packs two ARM Cortex-A9 MPCores running up to 1.8GHz per core and a SGX544 graphics core to support resolution up to QXGA (2048×1536).
“Superior mobile computing relies on a user experience that dwarfs all others. Fast and crisp Web browsing, HD and liquid UIs, support for the latest applications—these are the elements consumers judge and buy their devices on. The OMAP4470 processor delivers the maximum experience possible with an unmatched, power-efficient architecture,” said Remi El-Ouazzane, vice president, OMAP platform business unit, TI.
Texas Instruments expects to begin sampling the OMAP4470 processor in the second half o 2011 with devices to be available in the first half of 2012.
