Tells Intel and Nvidia to get off its
lawn
Chipmaker Texas Instruments has told Intel and Nvidia that they will
not be fighting against each other for a slice of the smartphone market.
TI
has been upgrading its ARM-design-based processors, which are snuggly installed
inside Samsung and Palm machines.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
we saw TI announcing a new OMAP 4 mobile chip platform that will allow
smartphones to do 1080p video record and playback and integrate 20-megapixel
cameras.
According to TI the OMAP 4 will deliver 10-times-faster Web page
loading times, more than seven times higher computing performance, and 10 times
better graphics performance than its current OMAP processors.
TI also said it
would be releasing a chip based on 45 nanometer technology for its OMAP 3
family.
