Goodbye OMAP. Texas Instruments No Longer Interested In Mobile Processor

(GSM Insider) - It is a surprise news for many manufacturers after Texus Instruments announces that they are no longer focusing on the smartphone and tablet business. Recently, the Amazon Kindles and Barnes & Noble Nooks are two latest tablets that powered by Texus Instruments' OMAP processor.

Off course this is a shock news! With Nooks announced yesterday, but the processor maker decided to quit the market. Perhaps it will slightly influence the consumers. However, Texus Instruments assured that they will continue to assist current customers.

"We believe that opportunity is less attractive as we go forward," Greg Delagi, senior vice president for embedded processing, said during a webcast of the meeting.

"TI made it very clear they no longer want to be in the business of proving application processors for smartphones or tablets," said Longbow Research analyst JoAnne Feeney. "What remains uncertain is for how long they'll support customers."

Delagi said that TI is "reprofiling" its investment in wireless for embedded customers and that the company's research and development profile for OMAP "needs to look different."

Since Texus Instruments no longer interested in the tablet and smartphone market, we shall wish them good luck ahead of their embedded processor business.  [Reuters]

Qualcomm Released Details of Snapdragon S4 for Windows Phone 8

In the official blog post of Qualcomm, it details the information of Snapdragon S4 processor that will be used in the upcoming Windows Phone handset. Here are those highlighted features:

Low Power – The Snapdragon S4 uses a 28nm process—the smallest in the industry! Shrinking the die reduces leakage, which means the chip is consuming very little power so that your smartphone battery can last all day. Likewise, a new process also means less heat dissipation. To prove our point, check out how cool-running an S4 processor can be with this whimsical experiment .

High Performance—The S4 introduces a new CPU and GPU that work tightly together to drive even more speed into the Windows Phone experience. Previous generation Snapdragon processors used our Scorpion CPU; the new Krait CPUs have been redesigned from the ground up for faster performance and energy efficiency to deliver long-lasting battery life. And now that Windows Phone 8 supports multi-core processing, it can take advantage of Snapdragon’s multiple Krait cores . In other words, you can multitask to your heart’s content. Also, Krait CPUs paired with the new Adreno 225 GPU will bring console quality gaming to Windows Phone.

4G LTE Web Browsing – Previous Windows Phones offered 4G LTE, delivering the fastest internet connection available in the world. The next wave of Windows Phone devices will not only have LTE, but will also be able to take advantage of its full integration in the Snapdragon S4 processor. Combining the modem and application processor means improved power consumption and an overall better user experience, which can lead to many benefits. You can read more about the power of LTE integration in this post.

High-Definition—Within the Snapdragon S4 processor is the Adreno 225 GPU, the graphics component that’ll enable Windows Phone 8 devices to not only play the latest DirectX 3D games, but also drive HD content and support high resolution displays (720p) .

Faster Location Services—The Snapdragon S4 features GPS and GLONASS, so you can access both satellite networks. Using two networks allows your phone to determine your location quickly, more accurately (within a 2 meters radius), and with fewer service interruptions. This enhances mapping and other location based service

Cameras—the Snapdragon S4 can up to 20 megapixel images, 1080p video capture and has overall speed and image quality enhancements, including image stabilization.

Hardware-Based Security— integrated into the Snapdragon processor is Qualcomm’s Secure MSM™. It provides encrypted boot, operation and file security for hardware-grade data security.
