LAS VEGAS, May 10 /PRNewswire/ --TI today announced that Microsoft has selected TI's OMAP2420 applications processor as the first ARM11-based development platform for its Windows CE 6 beta release distributed this week to device makers worldwide.
Device makers that choose this processor can power compelling advances like richer multimedia, 3D graphics and system integration for consumer electronics devices, while reducing power consumption. TI's OMAP2420 processor, which has shipped in millions of devices to date, will be the first ARM11-based solution that supports Windows CE 6, with a roadmap to include future OMAP(TM) processors.
Richard Kerslake, worldwide general manager for TI's OMAP platform said "with this partnership, we've tailored a solution for the broader portable consumer electronics market that leverages the compelling multimedia capabilities of the OMAP 2 platform, including features like low power consumption, rich multimedia, 3D graphics acceleration and system integration."
The OMAP2420 processor is built on TI's OMAP 2 "All-in-One" mobile entertainment architecture, which provides the foundation for mobile device manufacturers to merge today's most compelling high-end consumer electronics in smartphones and other converged portable multimedia devices.
"High-performance and power-efficient processing are critical to consumer electronics innovation," said Jonas Hasselberg, Group Product Manager, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. "The integration of TI's OMAP2420 processor in the Windows CE 6 platform will give our thousands of device maker partners worldwide a powerful processing choice for next- generation portable consumer electronics."
TI's OMAP2420 stand-alone application processor is the first device in the marketplace to leverage the ARM11 micro-architecture and is TI's second generation of OMAP processors to use 90-nanometer technology. The OMAP2420 chip includes an ARM1136JS-F core, a TI programmable audio DSP, a TI imaging and video accelerator (IVA), a 2D/3D graphics accelerator offering up to 2 million polygons per second, integrated camera interface, M-Shield(TM) hardware-based security solution and more. The OMAP2420 processor is powering handsets on the market today.
