Most others using ARM-based chips are customizing different variants of the Linux operating system, said Steve Mollenkopf, president of Qualcomm's chip unit.
The megahertz number so often cited in the marketing materials of computer companies refers to the computer's central processing unit chip as a partial measure of its ability to process data.
Struble intends to earn royalties from stations that use Ibiquity's technology as well as fees of 4% from radio makers and chip companies on every unit sold.
The chip giant has created a new business unit that it calls the netbook and tablet group.
Nvidia chips are also prized by the supercomputer community because they can handle six to eight times more operations per unit of energy than an Intel chip.
The Japanese firm is pinning its hopes on the processing power and storage capacity of its new console, which will include a revolutionary processing unit based on the new Cell chip, developed with IBM and Toshiba.
UK-based computer chip designer Imagination Technologies is buying US central processing unit (CPU) architect Mips's business operations and some of its patents.
This particular unit sported an Intel Core i5-3427U chip (capped at 2.3GHz instead of 2.8GHz), a vibrant IPS panel, a fingerprint scanner, front and back cameras, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD -- twice the announced capacity, for some reason.
Believe it or not, it was back in 2006 that the chipmaker first started talking about its "new class of x86 processors" and the idea of an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) -- a chip that would combine a CPU and a fairly powerful ATI GPU onto the same die.
Better-than-expected chip supplies mean lower prices for Mac users who want the fastest unit.
All the components to make the chip, including modem, antenna, microprocessor and memory, can be fabricated as a single unit helping to keep unit costs low.
Software run off a built-in computer chip then makes about 6, 000 adjustments a second to maintain optimum efficiency, and the unit is mounted on springs to prevent vibrations being passed on to the rest of the equipment.
