Texas Instruments OMAP3430 Processor Demonstrates Low-Power High-Performance Multimedia, Web-Browsing and Gaming Capabilities at 3GSM World Congress

CAMBRIDGE, UK - Feb.12, 2007 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today welcomed the outstanding capabilities of Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI’s) OMAP™3430 processor, integrating the ARM® Cortex™-A8 processor. A rich browser experience, High-Definition (HD) video, advanced Java™ multimedia, and 3D games, take center stage in the OMAP3430 platform, realizing the full potential of power-efficient and high-performance mobile devices. The OMAP3430 processor’s capabilities are being publicly demonstrated at 3GSM World Congress, February 12-15 in Barcelona, in the TI booth #8A84.

“Our collaboration with ARM during the development of the Cortex-A8 processor was important to the advancement of the OMAP 3 platform,” said Alain Mutricy, vice president and general manager, Texas Instruments Wireless Terminals Business Unit. “Proving the extensibility of the OMAP 3 architecture, we are demonstrating the ARM Cortex-A8 processor running at speeds up to 1GHz on TI’s low-power 65-nanometer (nm) technology. Reaching this milestone provides a glimpse of what will be possible with future wireless technologies.”

The Cortex-A8 processor is the first applications processor based on the next-generation ARMv7 architecture, which features support for TrustZone® technology, Thumb®-2 instructions, Jazelle®-RCT technology and ARM’s powerful NEON™ signal processing extensions targeted for next generation enriched multimedia and gaming mobile platforms.
