Written by IT News on 8:12 PM

The market for portable media applications are increasingly interesting, especially as low can run Nvidia's Tegra chips can be used for both the new smart phones and portable multimedia devices power. For this reason Texas Instruments has just announced the introduction of a new, high-performance single-chip solution that can deliver a better multimedia experience. Chip Maker today announced that the OMAP3530 applications processor now can reach speeds up to 720MHz.

The chip designer, the OMAP3530 processor-compatible multimedia devices access to databases, spreadsheets, presentations, e-mail, audio and video attachments faster than before, providing a better experience on the internet multimedia products. The processor is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core, running at 720MHz and 520MHz with a TMS320C64x + DSP.

One of the highlights of 720MHz OMAP3530 processor chip maker stressed the potential of 720MHz ARM Cortex-A8 core delivering 1400 dhrystones millions of instructions per second (MIPS), while the 520MHz C64x + DSP is said to have been designed to offer more space, optimize audio and video codecs and Custom IP. Otherwise, the processor also with a PowerVR SGX subsystem, which makes 3D graphics acceleration to support display and gaming effects, according to chip maker.

The single-chip solution is built to support a variety of computing devices, including point-of-Sale (POS) devices, web tablets and single board computers. The chip can be combined with the OMAP3503, OMAP3515 and OMAP3525, also designed by Texas Instruments. This will drive manufacturers to operating systems like Windows Embedded CE or a variant of Linux.

The OMAP3530 chip manufacturer is the several options in packaging, in addition to OMAP3530 EVM, directly through the company's website, where you can find more information about the technical specifications of the chip that is.
