STMicroelectronics announced the first results of its collaboration with AMD on next-generation graphics for mobile multimedia. ST’s mobile application processor, the Nomadik® STn8820, integrates AMD’s graphics technology to enable visually rich 2D and 3D applications on mobile handsets.
The combination of Nomadik and AMD graphics technology improves image quality while delivering improved battery life. According to the company, the platform opens new possibilities for mobile devices with game console-quality graphics. Content developers get powerful tools and optimised middleware for the development of 3D games, realistic maps and other graphics-intensive mobile applications.
The application processor combines distributed high-performance multi-core processing with ultra-low power consumption. The device integrates programmable smart accelerators for high-definition video, multi-channel audio, DSC-class (Digital Still Camera) imaging and 2D/3D graphics together with a powerful general-purpose ARM11 core.
