CYIT Selects Vivante to Meet the GPU Needs of TD-SCDMA Wireless Devices
June 1st, 2009 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Sunnyvale,
CA, June 1, 2009–(PRNewswire)–Vivante Corporation today
announced that Chongqing CYIT Communication Technologies
Co. Ltd. (CYIT TECHNOLOGIES), a major developer of 3G
mobile platforms and silicon in China, has selected
Vivante GPU technology for deployment in TD-SCDMA
solutions. CYIT Technologies will adopt Vivante GPU IP
cores to develop chips designed specifically for the TD-SCDMA
3G standard, which is expanding rapidly in China and
globally.
“The first
3G technology to be deployed in China, TD-SCDMA is
growing,” said Joseph Byrne, an analyst at The Linley
Group and author of “A Guide to Wireless Handset
Processors.” China Mobile has announced that it will
invest $20 billion in TD-SCDMA over the next three years
and cover all Chinese cities by 2011. At the same time,
the operator is providing $85 million to fund
development of TD-SCDMA handsets and other terminals.
“Investment in TD-SCDMA is a precursor to rolling out 4G
TD-LTE technology. TD-LTE will deliver higher data
rates, enabling use of higher-performance smart-phones
and other mobile devices,” stated Byrne.
CYIT
TECHNOLOGIES selected a Vivante GPU core for its unique
ability to deliver smart-phone caliber user interface
capabilities in a very efficient footprint and with low
power consumption, making it ideal for the
cost-sensitive, high bandwidth 3G baseband processing
and media-rich applications enabled by TD-SCDMA. “The
rapid expansion of TD-SCDMA enabled networks requires a
high functionality handset platform at a very low cost,”
said Prof. Zheng, Vice President of CYIT TECHNOLOGIES.
“The superior end-user experience enabled by Vivante GPU
cores, combined with the graphics expertise of the
Vivante team was a winning solution for CYIT
TECHNOLOGIES platforms. We look forward to
collaborating with Vivante as the TD-SCDMA market grows
around the globe.”
Wei-Jin Dai,
President and CEO of Vivante, added, “TD-SCDMA is a very
important market for Vivante, and we are pleased that
CYIT TECHNOLOGIES has selected our GPUs for their
designs. The Vivante scalable GPU architecture is
designed to address the needs of a wide range of
requirements and silicon budgets. From top-of-the-line
immersive gaming enabled smart phones to Internet
enabled high-definition home entertainment platforms,
the same leading edge Vivante technology will power the
next generation wired and wireless embedded
applications. Vivante is focused on delivering the
highest GPU performance per square millimeter at low
power across the spectrum mobile and home entertainment
embedded GPU requirements.”
