TI Licenses Next Gen ARM Cortex-A Processors

Texas Instruments (TI) will develop a new OMAP system-on-a-chip series based on the next generation ARM Cortex-A processor, code named Eagle, the company announced in a press release on Monday, August 9.

TI is the first company to partner with ARM in the conception and definition of the next generation ARM Cortex-A series processor core to be announced later this year.

TI's current OMAP 3 platform, available since a year, is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core. Its successor, the OMPA 4 platform, is based on the dual core ARM Cortex-A9 capable of speeds of more than 1 GHz per core.

High end smartphones powered by the OMAP 3 platform include Motorola Droid launched in late 2009, based on the 550MHz OMAP 3430, and the recently launched Droid X, based on the 1GHz OMAP 3640 processor.

The Archos 5, 5G, and 7 multimedia tablets, also use OMAP 3 chips.

TI believes that the new ARM processor core, which will be more powerful and power efficient than the current core, will have the potential for broader market application across TI's product portfolio.

TI's legacy with ARM began more than 15 years ago when, in 1993, TI and ARM embarked on their industry-changing partnership. TI has since shipped around 250 million OMAP processors, which contain ARM core processors.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
