Spreadtrum launches smartphone chipset

Chinese chip designer Spreadtrum Communications has developed a high performance multimedia mobile phone chipset based on ARM9 CPU processor.
The SC6800H is more than twice as fast as ARM7 based chips, and its ARM9EJ-S processor core with multimedia and GPU engine provides an enhanced user experience in mid-end feature phone. The solution supports JAVA, Internet access, GPS navigation, mobile stocks, MSN/QQ and many other popular applications in addition to a High-definition video player, and a 5 megapixel camera. It enables HVGA screen resolution with a fashionable user interface, such as the 3D UI and Flash UI, further improving the user experience. In terms of communication, the SC6800H integrates multi-SIM card engine and controller, which enable Dual-SIM standby, Triple-SIM standby and Quad-SIM standby solutions in a set of baseband and RF chipset. Furthermore, the SC6800H provides interfaces for a number of mainstream peripheral components such as Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and analogue TV.
The move is important as Spreadtrum has made significant inroads into the mid and low end markets with its existing chips - initially in China and Asia but increasingly in Europe ad the US - and is aiming to do the same for multimedia smartphones.
