From PC World: LG Electronics is getting into smartphone processor development with an octa-core chip that features in its G3 Screen smartphone, which went on sale Friday in South Korea.
The Nuclun mobile application processor uses ARM’s big.Little design for multitasking, with four 1.5GHz cores for high performance and four 1.2GHz cores for less intensive jobs, the South Korean company said.
It supports LTE-Advanced Cat. 6 networks, which allow for download speeds up to 225Mbps, which are three times faster than regular 4G LTE connections.
LG wants to optimize its application processor for its products in order to offer exclusive advantages in the crowded smartphone market, said Claire Jang, a spokeswoman for LG in Seoul.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) makes the chips.
