MIPS multi-threaded CPUs from Imagination push performance to new levels for Altair's LTE chipsets

USA: Imagination Technologies announced that two new baseband processors from Altair Semiconductor, a leading developer of high performance, single-mode LTE chipsets, are powered by MIPS CPU cores from Imagination.

Altair's new FourGee-3800 and FourGee-3802 processors are built on the architecture of Altair's MIPS-Based Verizon-Certified FourGee-3100/6200 chipset, with enhanced features and increased performance, supporting the newest LTE standards.

Multi-threading technology within the chips enables better overall throughput, quality of service (QoS), and power/performance efficiency.

The new chipsets each include multiple multi-threaded MIPS cores controlling various functions, including the high-performance 700MHz network processor subsystem.

With ultra-low active and idle power consumption, the latest LTE features and functionality and a broad set of host and peripheral interfaces, the new Altair chipsets are designed to support a range of applications including smartphones, tablets, mobile hotspots, routers and M2M. Multi-threading technology can be a particular advantage in balancing cost, performance and power for these devices, boosting performance where multiple latency-sensitive tasks must be handled simultaneously.
