AMD launches Imageon 2298, 2294, and 2192 processors

Microprocessor Company AMD has unveiled their new Imageon 2298, 2294, and 2192 processors. These were showcased at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

The company says that the new media processors are now being made available to handheld-device makers.

They expect devices featuring these processors to be launched starting early next year.

Several companies including Motorola, LG, Fujitsu, and Samsung have used the earlier versions of these processors. The hugely successful RAZR and SLVR mobile phones also used the older generation of these chips.

AMD added in a statement that these new processors provide all-in-one multimedia functionality for mobile phones.

These devices would be able to support image quality of up to 12 megapixels, DVD-quality video playback and recording, and even a TV-output function for showing movies and images from the phone on a television screen or projector.
