MIPS and Jun Zheng jointly publish the world’s first Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” Tablet PC

New 1GHz, Low-Power Panel PCs Set New Standards at Sub-$100 Prices Provide Industry-Standard Leaders in Processor Fabrics and Cores for Digital Home, Network, and Mobile Applications MIPS Technologies, Inc ) As well as China’s leading supplier of mobile multimedia application CPU, Ingenic Semiconductor, today announced that it has launched the world’s first retail price of less than US$100 to AndroidTM 4.0, which is codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich. Sandwich) based tablet. The tablet uses the JZ4770 mobile application processor from Junzheng IC, which contains a 1GHz MIPS-BasedTM XBurstTM CPU.

Andy Rubin, senior vice president of Google’s mobile business, said, “I am very pleased to see MIPS-Based Android 4.0 tablet PCs entering the market. Low-cost, high-performance tablet PCs are a big boon for consumers, which fully demonstrates Android’s Openness can really drive innovation and competition, and global consumers are benefiting from it.”

The new Android 4.0 tablet is officially available in China and can be purchased through Ainol Electronics' website. It will also start selling in the U.S. and other regions as a brand of leading companies such as Leader International and OMG Electronics a few months later.

The new tablet is equipped with a 7-inch capacitive multi-touch screen and will also be available in 8-inch and 9-inch versions in the near future. All models support WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3, and microSD, as well as the 3D graphics capabilities of the Vivante GC860 GPU, 1080p video decoding, and front/back dual cameras. The XBurst processor's low-power architecture extends battery life—the 7-inch tablet consumes less than 400mA when browsing the web.

According to Liu Qiang, President and CEO of Junzheng IC, “We are pleased to jointly announce this breakthrough high-performance, low-power, low-cost Android 4.0 tablet with MIPS Technologies. The outstanding performance of the MIPS architecture combined with Jun Zheng With the innovative processor design of integrated circuits, we have upgraded the mobile device processor technology to a new level.As we continue to work closely with MIPS to expand the mobile ecosystem around the MIPS architecture, we expect to further expand our The acceptance of products in the global market. We believe that with the addition of new processors, the mobile world will become more colorful."

Sandeep Vij, president and CEO of MIPS Technologies, said, “The open capabilities of Android systems enable innovative connectivity and interaction between devices and people around the world. We are very happy to work together as part of the Android ecosystem to advance this vision. We deeply appreciate the development of this new high-performance and feature-rich Android 4.0 tablet PC by Junzheng IC and at the same time its price concessions will be more widely accepted by the market.We look forward to continuing cooperation with Junzheng IC. Working together to promote innovation in MIPS-Based mobile devices."

Ingenic JZ4770 SoC

The Ingenic JZ4770 SoC built into the new tablet is the first MIPS-Based system-on-a-chip (SoC) for mobile devices that can reach 1GHz frequency for tablets and other devices with built-in rich multimedia and high-performance applications and features Its growing demand. The JZ4770 SoC includes a MIPS32 architecture-compatible XBurst CPU designed by Jun Zheng. The XBurst CPU core uses an innovative ultra-low-power pipeline architecture that consumes less than 90mW of power at 1GHz, while the entire SoC consumes only about 250mW of power at full CPU and video engine operation. In addition to the XBurst CPU, the JZ4770 SoC also integrates a 1080p video processing engine, Vivante's OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics processing unit, and multiple analog and application modules, including audio codecs and GPS.

Pricing and Availability The JZ4770 SoC for Android 4.0 tablets from Junzheng IC is available now. The new Android 4.0 tablet has been officially launched in China through the Ainol Electronics website. Com purchase. This 7-inch tablet (non-carrier binding) retails for less than $100. It is expected that sales will begin in other regions after a few months. For details, please visit http://en. Ingenic. Cn/.
