ARM-Based Mobile OMAP 5 Processors from TI

Omap 5 too is addressed to the mobile market with 3D capability in mind. This is a competitor to some other processors that were announced in and around the Mobile World conference in Feb/Mar this year. Claims are impressive. For example it should deliver twice the processing power of the earlier Omap 4, five times graphics processing and a power consumption reduction by 60%!


The OMAP 5 will have ARM Cortex-A15 CPU cores, two of them each running at 2 GHz. Two more M4 cores take over real time workloads. Stereoscopic 3D applications,  video conferencing, 2D and 3D graphics processing etc will be addressed by the chip. Record and playback of 3D video, convert 2D video to 3D, at 1080p resolution, etc. can be supported. Devices using the device should become available by mid next year, with the chip coming out about now.
