Texas instruments at CES went on stage to give a demonstration of their OMAP 5 chip after the solid 4 years of OMAP 3. The OMAP 5 will bring a CPU with two cores clocked at 800MHz as well as a dual-GPU structure.
The device runs android 4.0.1 was able to handle everything well. It played 720p video at 30 frames per second flawlessly. The platform was capable for 1080p material at 64 frames per second.
Vice President and General Manager of Texas Instruments, Remi El-Ouazzane, said: “this is the greatest platform on Earth right now… way ahead of Apple, and it’s the first Cortex-A15 (which runs 2x faster than the Cortex-A9) product on the market. When running two Cortex-A15 chips at 800MHz, it’s more or less the same performance as running two Cortex-A9s at 1.5GHz. You’ll see ramping up with this stuff in late 2012 or early 2013”.
