GoForce 5500

Handheld GPU

The NVIDIA GoForce 5500 Handheld GPU brings new features to your cell phone or handheld device that far exceed expectations. Now, in the device that you carry with you every where, you can:
10MP IMAGE SIGNAL PROCESSOR
Incorporating an ISP into GoForce 5500 has increased the supported camera resolution to an unprecedented 10 megapixels. This is higher than many professional digital still cameras, and will enable the production of exceptionally large prints with high levels of detail. The built-in ISP supports Bayer data and performs operations such as auto-exposure and white balance, as well as edge enhancement, gamma correction, and dead pixel detection. It also will collect statistics for auto focus.
support LCD sizes as large as XGA (1024 x 768), with 16.8 million colors -- even in 3D mode! Enhanced alpha blending modes make it possible to show semi-transparent menus over the top of video.
Capture pictures you can enlarge to poster-size (20 x 24 in / 50 x 60 cm) Watch digital (DVB-H) television Capture or playback DVD-quality video Play awesome 3D games Video conference with the same quality as a dedicated, hard-wired system Playback WMV or Real Video formats Capture MPEG4 video at D1 resolution Instant message or navigate semitransparent menus while video plays in the background. Listen to hours of music, regardless of format (MP3, AAC, WMA, Real, etc.) Support for a tablet-size PC display

AWESOME 3D GRAPHICS

With a programmable pixel shader, five simultaneous textures, 2.67 million triangles per second, and support for Open GL-ES, and Java, the GoForce 5500 provides high quality, high performance 3D that sets a new standard for 3D on a handset.

DEDICATED AUDIO ENGINE

A programmable audio engine inside GoForce 5500 supports simultaneous encoding and decoding of AMR or AAC audio in conjunction with video conferencing, camcorder, or video playback -- all with virtually no MIPS requirements on the baseband or CPU. Additional audio formats including MP3, WMA, and Real are supported for listening to music at high-quality bit rates up to 320kbps.

MAJOR UPGRADES

GOFORCE 4800

H.264/AVC VIDEO CODEC
The addition of a dedicated hardware-based H.264/AVC codec makes it possible to watch DVB-H broadcasts any where -- any time. By supporting full D1 resolution at an amazing 30fps during playback, the quality of the videos you watch is comparable to a DVD. You can also create your own high-quality H.264 movie, or host a H.264 video conference, right on your handheld device, with QVGA resolution at 15fps.
XGA DISPLAY WITH 16.8 MILLION COLORS
To support applications in wide variety of different devices with screen sizes from small to large, the GoForce 5500 can
