14 DAY TRIAL // Dallas-headquartered semiconductor company Texas Instruments is now demonstrating its new mobile processor in action, on its official website. The new mobile wonder sits inside a tablet that’s put side-by-side with Apple’s iPad3 or “The New iPad.”
We can see it running the well-known GL Benchmarks at FullHD 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution.
The company states that: “You can clearly see how the OMAP 5 processor’s graphics capabilities perform 12% better than the market leading tablet with its smooth rendering of scenes and the higher frame rate reported by the test. We also included a comparison chart at the end that shows how the OMAP5430 and OMAP4470 processors stack up against other devices on the market.”
The thing is that even more impressive will be the single-threaded performance of the new processor, as the OMAP 5 uses ARM’s powerful Cortex A15 architecture.
We are eager to see how OMAP 5 holds its own in the face of Qualcomm’s SnapDragon S4 and the tablet-targeted SnapDragon S4 Pro.
One of the most interesting test results will likely not be the GL Benchmark result, but the battery life achieved by using the new Cortex M4 cores.
