Cheaper chip for powerful mobiles

A new chip developed by Texas Instruments which combines a modem and a computer processor on one bit of silicon instead of two could make phones cheaper and more powerful, reports the BBC.

"The specially-designed chip could drive down the cost of making mobiles capable of 3D gaming and 30-frame-a-second video.

[...] The chip also uses much less power than conventional chips, said Texas, which means less strain on mobile battery life."
