Processor combines Coretex-A8 core with graphics and digital-signal processing

摘要

Texas Instruments' latest OMAP (Open Multimedia Applications Platform) processors integrate a superscalar, 600-MHz ARM (www.arm.com) Coretex-A8 core with DSP functions, HD (high-definition)-video acceleration, and 2- and 3-D graphics engines. The devices, which can operate with Windows CE or Linux operating systems, target applications with graphics interfaces and video capabilities for power-constrained products, such as handheld devices for home management and patient monitoring, as well as GUIs for consumer and home appliances.
