Qualcomm Snapdragon 602A Processor for Automotive Media Centers

13.01.2014

Qualcomm introduced several new processors at CES 2014. One of them was the 4-core Snapdragon 802 chip, designed for TVs with a 4K screen resolution. Another single-chip system, which will be discussed, was designated Snapdragon 602A.

This processor is designed for use in automotive infotainment systems. The product, according to the developer, fully complies with the AEC-Q100 standard, which means stringent requirements for operating temperature, quality, reliability and durability.

The Snapdragon 602A includes four Krait processing cores (clock frequency not specified) and an Adreno 320 graphics accelerator. In addition, the chip includes a Hexagon DSP digital signal processor, a GNSS module to support satellite navigation, as well as audio and video information processing units.

The Snapdragon 602A includes an integrated Qualcomm Gobi 9x15 multi-modem for connecting to third and fourth generation (LTE) mobile networks. Plus, the platform provides support for Dual-Band Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2,4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (LE).

Qualcomm emphasizes that the Snapdragon 602A enables next-generation in-car multimedia systems with 3D navigation, facial recognition, gestures and voice commands, support for high-quality sound and XNUMXD games for passengers in the back row of seats. Multiple high resolution displays and cameras can be connected. Various operating systems are supported.

Trial shipments of the processor will begin in the current quarter.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
