Microsoft made a lot of friends, didn't they? Well, another silicon manufacturer in the block that is also collaborating with the next version of Windows is Texas Instruments. If Qualcomm and nVidia are in the game, so does TI. Well, its natural. This would definitely mean more choices for the consumers which is all good, right?
TI have announced their own chips to battle for the Windows 8 OS which looks pretty promising. The chipset that they will be an addition to TI's nice portfolio of OMAP 4 family of chips. TI is announcing the OMAP4470 and has 1.8GHz of computing power which actually has 2 (dual-core) 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore engines (OK this is way over my league). Also the chips has also 2 266MHz ARM Cortex-M3 cores to do the all the multimedia duties.
"According to the company, this multi-core structure will enable faster web browsing and more frugal power usage, while putting the OMAP4470 in square competition with quad-core chips like NVIDIA's Kal-El and Intel's latest Sandy Bridge line. The SoC was designed for tablets, netbooks and smartphones running Android, Linux, or the next version of Windows, and can support a max QXGA resolution of 2048 x 1536, and up to three HD displays. "
