ZiiLABS, part of Creative, announced the ZMS-20 and ZMS-40 energy-efficient media processors optimized for Android 3.0 tablet. The ZMS-20 packs dual 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores with Neon while the ZMS-40 packs quad 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores.
Engineered for the high-resolution tablet computing markets, the ZMS-20 also sports ZiiLABS’ 48 Stemcell media processing cores. The ZMS-40 are turbo-charged by an array of up to 96 Stemcell media processing cores to give an incredible performance of up to 100 processor cores. Both processoes support High Profile H.264 video playback at 1080p at 30fps and a wide range of accelerated video codecs including H.264, VC1 and VP8. They have integrated HDMI 1.4 with 3D stereo support as well.
