Texas Instruments have finally unveiled their OMAP2 chip which targets the cost/power restrictive side of the embedded market, the OMAP2430. By winning the design with MBX Lite, Imagination Technologies are now in both of Texas Instruments' next generation of OMAP application processors, a market leading platform which powers many millions of devices all around the world.

The OMAP2430's MBX Lite doesn't appear to be accompanied by a VGP Lite. The SoC is produced on TI's 90nm process and includes a 330-MHz ARM1136 and an imaging/video/audio accelerator. Performance for 3D gaming is 1M-tri/sec, for video is DVD quality playback, and for camera imaging is over 5 megapixels with one second delay between shots.
The chip is similar to the award winning, MBX based OMAP2420 which is also produced on the 90nm process and includes the 330-MHz ARM1136, but it's scaled back for cost by replacing two cores on the OMAP2420, the imaging/video accelerator and the high-speed DSP for audio, with just a single yet more efficient accelerator which assists in all three tasks, imaging, video, and also audio.
