New CPU wars St Ericsson introduced the first quad core 3GHz

Days before the opening of the MWC Conference destined to be mobile phone, Tablet, the event processor. A few days ago, St-Ericsson announced that they will be showing a new generation of MWC NovaThor L8580 quad-core processor, quad-core processor was the first frequency 3GHz.

Now Cortex-A9 the mainstream frequency does not exceed 2GHz of the schema, and Cortex-A15 schema 2.5Ghz. The 3Ghz SoC for 28nm FD-SOI (fully depleted SOI) process, so they can increase frequency on the Cortex-A9 schema.

The frequency of 3GHz is that it can reach, and early versions of L8580 is only 2.5GHz, built-in PowerVR 544, the frequency increased to 600MHz. Official propaganda, the CPU performance 35%,GPU performance 20%. Hermes iPhone 6 wallet case Hermes iPhone 6 leather case

Although frequency is to force, but the advantages of energy-saving is the SoC, officials said on 1GHz,0.6V under the standby, power consumption is less than 50%, in addition to the baseband SoC integration to support WCDMA,HSPA+,TD-SCDMA,LTE-TD.
