Heshuo demonstrate the use of a new generation of Internet phone processor

Recently, a well-known OEM manufacturers in Taiwans external display Heshuo a ARM processor based on the Internet, the Internet for the first time the use of ARM Freescale iMX515 phone processor, which integrates the ARM Cortex-A8 core and use the 65 Nano-processing technology to provide up to 2100 Dhrystone MIPS, performance can be extended from 600MHz to 1GHz.

It is learned that, Freescale iMX515 processor and ARM Cortex-A8 processor is very similar to, but not the same product. ARM Cortex-A8 processor currently used in Palm Pre phones. Freescale iMX515 performance graphics processor in a very tough, is to provide core graphics OpenVG and OpenGL the only one of several processors, so the realization of the 2D and 3D graphics, as well as Flash and SVG, to enhance the user experience, but also 720P high-definition playback support.

Linux adoption of ARM architecture of the Internet

The ARM processor based on the Internet contains a number of advanced power management features such as dedicated hardware-based video acceleration blocks, can extend battery life, no longer need fans and heat sinks. Due to ultra low-power ARM processor, so even 2-cell battery also can guarantee the realization of the Internet from 4.5 to 8 hours of life, if used for a greater battery capacity, then the day will be able to use. According to Heshuo revealed that due to Googles Chrome Internet has not yet launched the operating system, so this shows the Internet is still used for ARM is the Ubuntu operating system.

Editorial point of view: in fact, the popularity of handheld devices such as PSP, iPhone and some BlackBerry is using ARM processor architecture, it is sufficient to meet the day-to-day performance of network applications. But now the purchase of the ATOM + Windows Internet users or to access the most traditional sense as a notebook to use the Internet this and realize that there are essential differences between laptops, Internet this is only used to meet the demand for Internet access. ARM + Linux-based Internet access this is often integrated graphics processing, audio processing, peripherals and other functions, and do not need Dragon and cooling devices, it can be a very good cost control, life can be better ensured.
