And chips designed by ARM, a British firm, dominate the market for application processors, which run software on smart-phones.
ZiiLABS is a leader in media-rich application processors, hardware platforms and advanced middleware.
Other solutions include baseband solutions for EDGE, 3G and 4G systems, and multimedia and application processors for mobile phones and handheld devices.
The UK-based chip company licenses its designs for low-power application processors to Samsung, Qualcomm, Apple, Texas Instruments, and a pack of others.

Increased demand for NAND flash chips used in mobile devices and enhanced revenue in the System LSI Business, which creates mobile application processors and CMOS Image Sensors, supported overall profitability.
ENGADGET: Samsung's Q3 2011 overall profit falls despite incredible phone sales
Nvidia now has 10% of the market for application processors in mobile phones, behind Texas Instruments, with 42% of the market, and Marvell, with 23%, according to market tracker Forward Concepts.
The System LSI Business, which creates application processors (AP) and image sensors for smartphones, is forecasted to maintain profitability in the third quarter as demand for faster and higher-capacity chips used in mobile devices increases.
Looking into the second quarter, Samsung expects to improve profitability in the chip business with a recovery in PC DRAM price and by expanding its new product category with mobile application processors based on 32 nanometer-class process technology.
This software is compatible with all application processors and can be optimized for power consumption and increased performance via custom hardware blocks, such as the DOC advanced hardware image processing (AHIP) embedded in Fujitsu's discrete image signal processors (ISPs).

Nvidia now has 10% of the market for application processors in mobile phones, behind Texas Instruments (nyse: TXN - news - people ), with 42% of the market, and Marvell, with 23%, according to market tracker Forward Concepts.
Though Nvidia maintains a cautious outlook on account of the weakness in the PC market, there are certain factors that contribute to our long-term belief in the company: strong demand for Kepler, significant product wins for Tegra 3 processors, and the upcoming integrated 4G LTE application processors.
The new extensions can enhance the delivered capabilities of today's technology and application processors based on that technology and enable developers to create apps that can access some of the features of OpenGL ES 3.0, taking them into the next level of possibilities in visual effects or efficiency.
