"Offering a breakthrough in how a mobile phone can work for you, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) today announced its new OMAP 3 architecture for mobile phones at a press conference at 3GSM World Congress. The OMAP 3 platform will transform the mobile phone into a personal and professional tool that allows consumers to integrate work and entertainment into one device. OMAP 3 application processors will power a new class of mobile phones that will improve entertainment and productivity features and integrate capabilities of cameras, gaming devices, portable video and music players, laptops and PDAs. TI's first OMAP 3-based device, the OMAP3430 processor, will be the industry's highest-performing application processor and is believed to be the first wireless processor to use 65-nanometer (nm) process technology. The OMAP3430 processor will sample this year."
TI started gobbling a portion of the mobile devices market share in 2005, and it's good to see them making new ground in 2006. The new OMAP 3 65-nm architecture offers mobile phones and PDAs huge performance gains in all sorts of demanding situations. The first processor of the class, the OMAP3430, operates in a low-power mode at 550Mhz.
