Panasonic has created a new Cortex A9 Dual Core 1.4GHz CPU for chic TVs that allows users to concurrently perspective two HDTV announce channels, together with Internet-based calm and interactive applications.

The new LSI fragment will enable viewers to "simultaneously suffer two TV report channels, together with Internet-based calm and applications in high fortitude at the same time," Panasonic said.

The new fragment starts representation deliveries this month. It is approaching to open the way for a new era of chic TVs that moreover lower power expenditure and the number of components indispensable to produce the sets.

To upgrade opening and the user interface, chic TVs need absolute program estimate ability as they encouragement assorted applications on the Internet. Achieving these improvements has called for a network fragment that has both a high-quality A/V processor and a absolute CPU on a singular chip.

In add-on to permitting observation of two announce channels at once, the new TV sets will underline Internet applications similar to Netflix and Pandora, together with other chic TV applications. Several TV set makers, inclusive Vizio, Samsung and Panasonic, now offer chic TVs. However, the marketplace is still actually young, and many vendors wish to complement the user experience.

The LSI adopts a new design comprising of Panasonic's UniPhier processor, a device mentioned to assure the estimate of audio and visible calm and a general-purpose high-speed twin CPU for network applications. It adopts a 1.4GHz twin core CPU (ARM Cortex-A9TM Dual).

A high-performance 3D graphics route ancillary full HD fortitude is necessary for chic TVs. Integrating such a 3D graphics route and audio and video codec, the new network LSI has all the functions compulsory for chic TVs on a singular chip. As a result, it can broach images by mixing graphics and video. The new fragment cuts power expenditure by about 40 percent.

The processor's design enables parallel, coexisting real-time operation of TV vigilance processing. It implements a dual-core CPU and high-capacity cache memory, together with operation at 1.4GHz timepiece frequency.

In April, Toshiba denounced its CEVO multiprocessor powered radio sets, that have features similar to 3-D, 2-D-to-3-D conversion, 3D Resolution+ and NetResolution+.

CEVO chips are multicore processors made up from the unit design that may be found in the Japanese unit radio sets. These chips are meant to speed up opening of TV sets, together with encouragement Web applications.
