Renesas launches ARM Cortex-A15 / A7 CPU quad-core processor

Renesas Communications Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Renesas Communications Technology"), the world's leading and innovative supplier of advanced mobile phone semiconductor solutions and platforms, has recently announced the launch of the next-generation LTE smartphone communications processor platform MP6530. The MP6530 will further expand Renesas ’technology portfolio in the mid- to high-end mobile phone market priced from US $ 200 to US $ 400, and integrate high-performance application processors up to 2GHz and product-proven LTE Cat-4 modems in a single chip on. The processor is based on ARM® big.LITTLE ™ technology, provides users with a wonderful multimedia experience through excellent performance, and its low power consumption can extend the battery life of the device. Samples of the MP6530 platform will be available to Tier 1 OEMs in early 2013.

big.LITTLE combines a high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 â„¢ MPCore â„¢ processor and a low-power Cortex-A7 â„¢ processor, enabling application software to seamlessly switch between the two. As shown in Figure 1, the Cortex-A15 processor can be used to handle computationally intensive applications, such as host games, rendering pages and downloads at speed while browsing the web, and media editing and processing. The Cortex-A7 processor is responsible for efficiently handling most smartphone workloads and background tasks, such as social media and email synchronization, audio or video playback, and other always-on and always-on tasks.

Jean-Marie Rolland, chief technology manager and vice president of marketing and sales at Renesas Communication Technologies, said: "As a major initiative to integrate a monolithic smartphone platform, this new product is perfectly intensive in computing that can bring users a wonderful experience. Balance between low-end applications and low power consumption that can extend battery life. In addition, its excellent performance and excellent multimedia capabilities can also help our OEM customers quickly bring advanced mid-to-high-end LTE equipment to the market. The next generation The MP6530 will not only meet the current market demand, but also support the ever-changing smartphone devices. "

Compared with the MP5232 platform of Renesas Communication Technology's mid-range products, the MP6530 platform (shown in Figure 2) has significantly improved performance and can support more complex applications. GPU performance has tripled and can easily provide a realistic gaming experience, engaging 2D and 3D interactions, and on-screen displays. It can also synchronously encode and decode 1080p full HD video and continuously play blockbuster movies. Renesas Communication Technology has also tripled memory performance to support new multimedia features and functions such as Full HD external display and Full HD display over WiFi, allowing more people to watch mobile content on the large screen in the living room. At the same time, the platform's excellent imaging capabilities enable smartphones to replace digital cameras. These features include high-definition digital dynamic imaging comparable to DSLRs, real-time facial recognition, image stabilization, and noise filtering.

Malik Saadi, chief analyst of Informa's cross-product division, pointed out: "The emergence of LTE has transformed smartphones into high-performance and always-connected mobile multimedia computers. The challenge of enabling chipsets is to find the best balance between high-performance computing and low energy consumption. The best way to achieve this goal is to integrate the LTE modem with an intelligent multi-core CPU that can select the best processor for each processing task. "

The MP6530 inherits the mature technology of the Cat-4 LTE modem used for the Renesas communication technology MP5232 platform, and has the industry's highest throughput rate, low power multimode FDD and TD-LTE Cat-4 functions. In addition, its major improvements and certification levels can also benefit OEMs. The maturity of this technology fundamentally cancels the modem certification of the client's critical path, thereby reducing development costs and speeding time to market. Existing MP5232 platform customers can also benefit from a strong product portfolio, brand new products, and wider diversity.
