Picture quality is key to digital camera market
According to a survey sponsored by TI, 97% of European digital still camera owners and 99% of those intending to purchase within six months rate picture quality as the most important attribute
'The combination of the new high-performance ARM11 cores, and TI's leading system-level expertise and DSP technology, will exceed the performance and power requirements of system developers for next-generation wireless and multimedia solutions'.
The new ARM solutions are the first microprocessor core implementations of the ARM11 microarchitecture, which is based on the ARMv6 instruction set developed in collaboration by TI and ARM.
The ARM11 microarchitecture features a high-performance pipeline and high-bandwidth level-one memory system, which results in an extremely compact and power-efficient microprocessor core.
These new features, which will be code-compatible with TI's current ARM core-based solutions, coupled with TI's wireless experience and DSP engines, will offer the increased performance and low power consumption required to run real-time audio and video applications.
'The new ARM11 cores will be an essential part of TI's wireless technology roadmap', said Alain Mutricy, TI vice president and OMAP platform general manager.
'Today, TI's wireless platforms, based on TI's DSP and ARM microprocessor cores, have been the standard for delivering the best technology, power efficiency and performance required to drive today's wireless handsets.
By utilising ARM11 solutions along with our advanced wireless DSP expertise, we will extend this standard through the next generation of high-end wireless handsets and PDAs'.
TI and ARM have a long history of collaboration in the wireless space, including the licensing of cores from the ARM7, ARM9 and ARM10 microprocessor families.
