The Place for Cool Processors

The hottest market right now is for the coolest processors. That's right, low-power but speedy processors are needed for the latest handheld gadgets, including smartphones, PDAs, personal media players (PMP), personal navigation devices (PND), and mobile Internet devices (MID). These processors can also be used in other low-power applications such as automotive in-dash systems and digital picture frames. These categories include some of the fastest-growing consumer items around.

Mobile processors have the performance to run operating systems such as Symbian and Linux, present attractive user interfaces, decode audio and video formats, display web pages, and handle navigational calculations. To reduce system cost, they often integrate a variety of system functions, in some cases even GPS or Bluetooth. Because they target consumer devices, prices must be low, and power management is crucial.

"A Guide to Mobile Processors" covers application and multimedia processors designed for handheld equipment. Companies covered include Texas Instruments (OMAP), Marvell (PXA), Intel (Atom), Freescale (i.MX), AMD/ATI (Imageon), Nvidia (Tegra), Qualcomm (SnapDragon), Renesas (SH-Mobile), RMI (Alchemy), ST (Nomadik), Broadcom, Samsung, and Anyka. This report builds on the coverage in our 2007 report "A Guide to Wireless Handset Processors, Second Edition," which included coverage of application processors.
