Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 You heard it here first... the MPx220 processor has finally been confirmed to MoDaCo by sources inside Motorola, and it's the Texas Instruments OMAP 1611! The OMAP 1611 is one of a series of new mobile processors from TI that are set to push the boundaries of mobile computing. From this TI press release... New OMAP Processors Deliver Unparalleled Software Flexibility and Performance The new processors raise the bar over current OMAP devices by delivering manufacturers even greater software flexibility and performance. In addition to providing the widest offering of graphic user interfaces and advanced operating systems including LinuxTM, Palm OS®, Symbian, Microsoft´s mobile device platforms´ Pocket PC and Smartphone, and Nucleus and systems integration services from independent OMAP Technology Centers, the new OMAP processors provide OMAP developers with easy access to open programming interfaces and development tools to take full advantage of OMAP processor performance. Plus, many leading software developers such as ActionEngine, Bitflash, Certicom, Comverse, Hi Corporation, Ideaworks3D, Microsoft Windows Media, PacketVideo, RealNetworks, SafeNet, and SpeechWorks are delivering a wide variety of OMAP processor-based applications. With the new OMAP161x or OMAP73x processors, OMAP developers and mobile device manufacturers can provide the following performance improvements over competitive offerings: Multimedia performance * Applications with 2D graphics run up to 2.5x faster. * Java execution is performed up to 8x faster. * Multimedia Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) extensions provide up to 1.7x performance gain for audio applications such as digital audio playback. Security enhancements * Security algorithms are processed up to 90x faster while power consumption is reduced, thanks to the OMAP platform´s hardware accelerators.and... OMAP161x Devices -- Application Processors For All Cellular Standards Building on the popular OMAP1510 stand-alone application processors, the OMAP1610, OMAP1611 and OMAP1612 devices increase application performance while lowering power consumption and space requirements. For mobile device manufacturers, that means more compelling 2.5G and 3G applications such as video conferencing, interactive gaming, speech processing, location-based services, video streaming and many others. The OMAP1611 processor features enhanced multimedia application processing with 2Mb of internal SRAM (ISRAM). The device also has a standard low pin-count, dedicated connection to 54 megabit-per-second (Mbps) WLAN (802.11g/a/:lol: technology such as TI´s TNETW1130 WLAN processor. The OMAP1612 processor includes all OMAP1611 device features plus 256 Mb of stacked ultra-low-power, mobile double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic memory (SDRAM). The OMAP1610 device will be available in TI´s TCS4105 complete UMTS reference design, also announced today. Please see www.ti.com/omap161x for more information on OMAP161x processors. Initial reports from various sources indicate this new processor provides excellent performance... more news and benchmarks as we get them... :) P
Guest Vector Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 excellent! :lol:/ may persuade me to get this phone over MPx100 if it doesn't have this processor :)
Guest midnight Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 just so you know, the Omap1611 has a clock speed up to 204mhz :) oh, and has 2d graphics acceleration, so video, camera and games will be very smooth
Guest mavisdavis Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 I've made my mind up already.I've never had a clamshell before.Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest mischievous Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 How does that TOP GUN quote go? "I feel the need, the need for SPEED!"
Guest Jasonkruys Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Contract ends this month, think I might get this bad boy when it is released, unless the mpx100 is hot on its heels
