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.
