At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ST-Ericsson, will demo the NovaThor(TM) L8580 integrated smartphone platform with a 3Ghz eQuad(TM) application processor and a multimode LTE Advanced modem supporting Carrier Aggregation. By demonstrating the L8580 at this speed, ST-Ericsson is revealing the world's fastest smartphone processor and validating the company as an innovator in the wireless market.
"Our next-generation NovaThor platform is creating a disruption for the wireless industry by combining some of the most advanced technologies on the market, including STMicroelectronics' 28nm FD-SOI process technology, to deliver a real industry breakthrough in terms of speed, power consumption and overall performance," said Didier Lamouche, President and CEO of ST-Ericsson. "We focused on innovation for real world use cases and delivered a ModAp that lets applications run significantly faster - up to 35% faster CPU while GPU and multimedia accelerators run 20% faster. With the NovaThor L8580, ST-Ericsson is bringing speeds normally reserved for the PC market to mobile devices."
The initial commercial version of the NovaThor L8580 integrates an eQuad 2.5GHz processor based on ARM Cortex-A9's, a powerful Imagination PowerVR(TM) SGX544 GPU running at 600Mhz and an advanced multimode LTE modem supporting Carrier Aggregation on a single 28nm FD-SOI die.
The NovaThor L8580 supports 3GPP Release 10, LTE category 4, with downlink speeds up to 150Mbps. It supports LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, HSPA+, GSM and TD-SCDMA in the same chipset as well as VoLTE and HD voice. With up to 17 bands in the same device and a single radio for Carrier Aggregation the L8580 addresses device manufacturers' needs for a simple and cost effective solution to build global LTE smartphones with the smallest number of manufacturing variants. |
