PNX4008
Nexperia mobile multimedia application processor
Key features
• Unique architecture for unprecedented multimedia performance
- ARM9 processor in 90-nm CMOS technology running at 208 MHz
- Dedicated accelerators for video, audio, graphics, and security
subsystems to provide optimized performance and reduce power
consumption
• High-resolution imaging
- Still image capture up to 4 Megapixels
• Video record/playback
- Simultaneous H.263, MPEG-4 encode/decode of streams up to
CIF resolution at 30 fps
• Video telephony
- Full-duplex, low-latency video encode/decode mode
• Enhanced audio/music
- Dedicated DSP for all audio activities
- Integrated stereo DACs and ADCs
• 3D gaming
- OpenGL-ES compliant 3D graphics accelerator
• Security
- PKI, Symmertric and Hash Coprocessors
- Random Number Generator with fuses for key generation
• Space-saving LFBGA320 package
CPU subsystem
The CPU subsystem combines a 208-MHz ARM926-EJ processor
with dedicated 32k instruction and 32k data caches. It also includes a
memory management unit (MMU), a debug port with an embedded
trace module (and embedded trace buffer), and a DMA controller.
Video subsystem
The video subsystem provides high-performance support for still and
video images. It includes an encode acceleration JPEG decoder, an
MPEG-4/H.263 video encoder/decoder, and a graphics accelerator,
plus LCD and camera interfaces.
The JPEG decoder handles resolutions up to 4 Megapixels, offers
baseline ISO/IEC 10908-1 JPEG compliance (DCT sequential) and
accepts inputs in JFIF 1.02 fi le format with marker handling. It uses 8-bit samples for each color component (YUV 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:1:1/4:2:0/4:0:0) and supports component interleaved and single frames. For Huffman coding it uses two AC and two DC tables. The MPEG-4/H.263 encoder/decoder supports planar and semi-
planar YUV 4:2:0 inputs and outputs, and works with all resolutions
up to CIF (352x288) running at 30 fps. The encoder/decoder is fully
MPEG-4 compliant, compatible with simple profi le (levels 0 through 3) and baseline H.263 (short header).
Audio subsystem
The audio subsystem combines a fully dedicated audio DSP with integrated stereo DACs and ADCs to provide superior sound capabilities. The audio DSP can operate independently from the ARM CPU and can reference embedded RAM memories for full audio flexibility, including upgrades for future technologies.
For stereo sound, there are two integrated stereo DACs and one stereo ADC. There are also two PCM interfaces, carrying 8- or 16-kHz
sample-rate voice channels.
Security subsystem
The security subsystem consists of three coprocessors, a random number generator, and a unique secret crypto key that uses embedded fuses. The PKI coprocessor supports RSA, ECC, DSS, and DH. The symmetric coprocessor supports DES, 3DES, and AES, while the Hash coprocessor supports SHA-I and MD5.
3D subsystem
The 2D/3D graphics accelerator complies with OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs.
Running at 80 MHz, it delivers a typical performance of 150 Megapixels per second and 1.25 million polygons per second.

Thanks Johnex for the specs, the capabilities of this CPU look amazing compared to previous P series that we've had. Video playback is gonna be amazing and overall performance should be much better.

I think the delay for the P900i is due to the testing of this faster embedded CPU, it will be worth the wait but being patient is hard

You are totally right. This phone is going to be a big hit, and i really need to get my hands on that phone.

Are there NO official independent benchmark figures for mobile processors?Surely the manufacturers must have some reference source on which to base their HW decisions?I would also end speculation about this issue.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Why don't SE make personal tones for Short Messaging or Multimedia Messaging, because almost every day we receive Message more than Phone. With personal tones we can known who send message without open message first. Thanks |

@willows, I think you're in the wrong thread.
I'm really interested with the 30fps CIF video recording. This plus all the promised features will make this phone a real hit. I wonder why SE didn't use a 3.2MP camera if the CPU is capable of 4MP.
resistance is futile. |

There is realiable information that the P990 camera speficications are going to change.
Just read the last part of the Eldar's review:
http://www.mobile-review.com/[....]onyericsson-p990part4-en.shtml
"The camera is going to be changed, as well as its technical specifications"

@_LAU_, thanks. It says there that video recording is only at 15fps at the moment. I really hope they change the specs to have 3.2MP camera and handle CIF at 30fps video recording.

why only cif?? i would like to see vga resolution, like in the nokia 6280!! that would be really cool and they could beat the nokia  and give us 30 fps....

The new chipset from Philips (Nexperia) is the one responsible for the improvement on realtime compression.
I believe they would have made a higher frame rate if there was not some limitation, like resolution, too large memory buffers or even flash write speed.
I would love to be proved wrong though.
Maybe soneone eventually develops a better camcorder software after the P990 launch.

I have over 3000 address books with pics in my 910i. I ll be happy if we can learn whether the 910 personal data such as address book be directly transferable to 990 with the full compatibility.?
