MIPS and Ingenic collaborate to bring
new 1GHz MIPS-based mobile SoC
MIPS Technologies and Ingenic are collaborating to bring
Android 3.0, also known as Honeycomb, to new JZ4770 mobile
applications processor of Ingenic, which leverages a MIPS-Based
XBurst CPU running at 1GHz. Honeycomb is the newest version
of the Android operating system designed specifically for
tablets and other large format products. MIPS and Ingenic
will work together on porting Honeycomb to the Ingenic chip
for tablets.
"As MIPS continue to gain traction in the mobile market,
we are pleased to work closely with Ingenic, who brought
to market the first MIPS-Based smartphones and tablets.
With its new chip, Ingenic is bringing a new level of MIPS
applications processing to the mobile market. Through innovative
licensees such as Ingenic, the MIPS architecture is proving
to be the credible alternative for the next generation of
smart mobile devices," said Art Swift, vice president
of marketing and business development, MIPS Technologies.
"With our MIPS-Based designs, Ingenic is already experiencing
success in the Greater China market. Our new MIPS-Based
mobile applications processor leverages the performance
efficiency inherent in the MIPS architecture, together with
ultra low-power, compact silicon area and a high level of
integration, making our solution highly competitive in the
market. We are collaborating with MIPS to continue to build
the mobile ecosystem around the MIPS architecture, and we
anticipate increasing success in the China market and beyond,"
said Qiang Liu, chairman and CEO for Ingenic Semiconductor.
Ingenic JZ4770 SoC integrates a 1GHz CPU, 1080P VPU, OpenGL
ES 2.0 3D GPU and on-chip analog and application blocks
such as audio CODEC and GPS. The MIPS32 compatible XBurst
CPU core provides an alternative and ultra low-power application
processor solution. At 1GHz, the JZ4770 SoC consumes ~250mW
power.
Availability: The new chip from Ingenic will be
available in the third quarter of 2011.
