S-GOLD3™ - Turbo Engine for EDGE-enabled Multimedia Phones

S-GOLD3™ TAKES Infineon Technologys well-known S-GOLD ® architecture to new performance spheres. Its performance-optimized implementation nearly doubles the multimedia power of previous S-GOLD® controllers. High processor speed combined with multimedia hardware accelerators and advanced connectivity make this device the turbo engine of the S-GOLD® family. Even the most performance-greedy applications such as video telephony and 3D graphics can easily be handled without additional hardware. S-GOLD3TMs proven architecture known as application-enhanced modem is extremely efficient with respect to overall system cost, footprint, feature set, power consumption, and application performance. Its EDGE capable modem marks the third generation of Infineons EDGE-enabled baseband solutions. Configurable with a UMTS co-processor, S-GOLD3TM extends into the growing 3G market, offering easy migration from a GSM/GPRS/EGPRS phone to a dual-mode wideband CDMA/GSM terminal.
