Texas Instruments just started to let the world know about the 1Ghz and 1.5Ghz dual core chips they have for mobile devices and already they are topping themselves. We already know that the PlayBook is rocking the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 1Ghz dual core processor though there is a Texas Instruments OMAP 4440 which can go to 1.5Ghz. Now TI has revealed that they have a OMAP5 5430 processor line coming out in devices during 2012 that rocks a dual core 2Ghz chip. This new chip will start going into production in the second half of this year.
TI claims this new OMAP5 chip using the pair of Cortex A15s will be THREE TIMES the speed of the previous gen 1Ghz Cortex A9s that are in their OMAP 4330 chip. Pretty crazy stuff and could mean a PlayBook would replace our desktops in the near future…
