In February, Texas Instruments compared the browser rendering performance of its OMAP 5 platform to the Nvidia Tegra 3, and the benchmark results showed OMAP 5 was twice as fast @ 800 MHz than the Tegra 3 @ 1.3 GHz. Today, they’ve uploaded a video showing the 3D performance a tablet based on OMAP 5 (and PowerVR SGX 544-MP GPU) against a market-leading tablet (I guess it’s the Apple iPad 3 with PowerVR SGX 543 GPU) using GLBenchmark 2.5 with the following setup: 1080p resolution.On-screen and off-screen tests were conducted to compensate for the “Vysnc Limited” scenarios.(24bpp) 16bit depth tests to better represent high-end game contentPower saving mode disabled and device connected to a power source.No background tasks and airplane mode “on.”
GLBenchmark 2.5 Offscreen Results The on-screen results show 38 fps for the OMAP 5 vs 34 fps for the other platform, or a 12% performance boost. NVIDIA: OMAP 4470 is 50% faster than Tegra 3 | Tech News Pedia. Yesterday Amazon announced its new Kindle Fire HD soc based on the Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 , which claim has outperformed its competitors products based on Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC . Comment could not be left without a response from Nvidia: It’s good to see companies continue to use a Tegra 3 as the standard to compare their products.
The popular Nexus 7 showed the capabilities of the Tegra 3 processor. You can not measure the experience that provide the user with comparisons (benchmarks) synthetic. At other times, companies with products based on the arm Cortex-A15 architecture as Snapdragon S4 Series (based on Qualcomm’s Krait architecture), OMAP 5 Texas Instruments and Exynos 5 of Samsung, have proclaimed their superiority to Tegra 3, which architecture is based on the Cortex-A9, but very few companies with products that claim Cortex-A9 also be higher, as the SoC K3V2 of Huawei. Link: Nvidia Responds to Amazon’s Kindle Performance Claims (Softpedia) OMAP 4470 faster than Tegra 3, claims Amazon. CEO Jeff Bezos outlines the difference Yesterday Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed three new Kindle tablets, including 7- and 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD tablets, and he briefly mentioned that the great processor and graphics engine behind both tablets comes courtesy Texas Instruments.
The 8.9-incher uses the OMAP 4470, while the Kindle Fire HD is apparently based on the OMAP 4460, with slower graphics. Last time we checked the OMAP 4470 was a 45nm dual A9 core that works somewhere between 1.5GHz and 1.8GHz, comes with hardware accelerated 2D and 3D and supports 1080p in both 2D and 3D video. The graphics core of choice is a PowerVR SGX544, clocked at 384MHz and a dual channel 32bt 466MHz LPDDR2 memory support. The OMAP 4460 features SGX 540 graphics. According to Jeff Bezos the new Kindle Fire HD and Texas instrument OMAP 4470 can do 12 billion floating point operations per second while Tegra 3 can do only 8 billion, claiming that OMAP 4470 can do 50 percent more.
Qualcomm S4 vs NVIDIA Kal-El vs TI OMAP 4470 vs Samsung Exynos 4212: Strong-ARMed Superchip Showdown! The first half of next year should get very interesting for mobile devices. We’re expecting the Qualcomm S4, NVIDIA Kal-El, Texas Instruments OMAP 4470, and Samsung’s new Exynos 4212 chips to arrive then. But, even if these devices will all arrive in the first half of 2012, we don’t know the exact dates–and that might make a difference. For example, if one of them is 30% better than the other, but arrives in June, while the other arrives in January, then it might not mean much, because the January chip will probably have an upgraded version by June, too, and might equal or even surpass the original “better” chip.
So, keep that in mind while we compare these chips. Qualcomm S4 Qualcomm had a great 2010 because of the Nexus One which made its Snapdragon chip based on the Scorpion architecture very popular. That looks like it might change a bit, at least in the first half of 2012, but mainly when just compared to other dual-core processors. Qualcomm S4 Power Consumption NVIDIA Kal-El Wrap-up. Is the OMAP 4470 chip in the new Kindle Fire HD 8" really better than the Tegra 3? Yesterday at their event, Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, made what seemed like a surprising comment about the OMAP 4470 chip, which is powering the new Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ (the new Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD 7″ have OMAP 4430 and OMAP 4460 respectively). Amazon said that OMAP 4470 can do 50% more floating-point operations per second than the Tegra 3, while the dual-channel LPDDR2-466 RAM on the Fire HD has 40% more bandwidth than what Tegra 3 comes paired with.
So is it true? First, we need to understand where the OMAP 4470 is coming from. Initially, OMAP 4470 was supposed to be a dual-core 1.8 GHz processor, while the OMAP 4460 was supposed to hit 1.5 GHz. It seems TI failed in both missions — the OMAP 4460 arrived at 1.2 GHz per core, on the planned timeline; the OMAP 4470 arrived significantly later than expected (spring 2012) and clocked at only 1.5 GHz per core. So, while we don’t have any benchmarks of these chips and devices yet, Jeff Bezos’ comments on Tegra 3 vs.

Main Page - OMAPpedia. OMAPworld.com. What is Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP)? - Definition from WhatIs.com. Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP) is the name of Texas Instrument’s application processors. The processors, which are systems on a chip (SoC), function much like a central processing unit (CPU) to provide laptop-like functionality for smartphones or tablets.
Application processors integrate components of a computer system on a single chip. OMAP processors consist of a processor core and a group of Internet protocol (IP) modules. OMAP supports multimedia by providing hardware acceleration and interfacing with peripheral devices. The OMAP family consists of three product groups classified by performance and intended application: High-performance applications processors Basic multimedia applications processors Integrated modem and applications processors This was last updated in November 2011 Email Alerts Register now to receive SearchConsumerization.com-related news, tips and more, delivered to your inbox.

OMAP Technologies - OMAP™ Applications Processors - TI.Com. Virtualization Hypervisor mode in the OMAP 5 platform’s ARM® Cortex™-A15 MPCores provides hardware virtualization support, enabling simultaneous and secure control of shared resources between a “host” and “guest” OS on a single device. Supporting multiple OSes allows manufacturers to build their system leveraging one OS to maintain software investment, robustness or real-time operation, while taking advantage of the ARM® Virtual Extensions to seamlessly support the user experience another OS may offer.
Cloud Computing IT managers from industries ranging from enterprise, finance, and hospitality to education, medical and governments are all forming cloud strategies for their organization. Organizations are embracing “the cloud” for better manageability, scalability and security in our increasingly connected world, and seeing the benefits of lower total cost of ownership and a greener power footprint.
OMAP. OMAP (Open Multimedia Applications Platform) is a series of image/video processors developed by Texas Instruments. They are a category of proprietary system on chips (SoCs) for portable and mobile multimedia applications. OMAP devices generally include a general-purpose ARM architecture processor core plus one or more specialized co-processors. Earlier OMAP variants commonly featured a variant of the Texas Instruments TMS320 series digital signal processor. On September 26, 2012, Texas Instruments announced that they would wind down their operations in smartphone and tablet oriented OMAP chips and instead focus on embedded platforms.
The fate of OMAP therefore remains uncertain.[1] On November 14, 2012, Texas Instruments announced that they would cut 1,700 jobs due to its shift from mobile to embedded platforms.[2] OMAP family[edit] The Galaxy Nexus, example of a smartphone with an OMAP 4460 SoC High-performance applications processors[edit] OMAP 1[edit] OMAP 2[edit] OMAP 3[edit] OMAP 4[edit] OMAP Technologies - OMAP™ Applications Processors - TI.Com.
