Nomadik processors.

STMicroelectronics adapts for Nokia Series 60
4 November 2004
STMicroelectronics has adapted and optimized its Nomadik family of multimedia processors for use in Nokia's Series 60 Platform for 3G handsets and PDA.

The Nomadik processors support a range of data-intensive applications, such as imaging, music, video recording and video streaming. They use a "smart accelerator" architecture that can achieve video at 30 frame/s.

The processors are compatible with the Symbian operating system, which is employed by the Series 60 Platform. This platform is currently used in a number of Nokia handsets and is licensed to several other handset makers, including Siemens, LG Electronics and Panasonic.
