The MWC Conference, which will open in a few days, is destined to be a grand event for mobile phones, tablets and processors. A few days ago, Italian French Ericsson announced that they would show a new generation of NovaThor on MWC ™ L8580 quad core processor is the first quad core processor with a frequency of 3GHz. At present, the mainstream frequency of Cortex-A9 architecture is no more than 2GHz, while that of Cortex-A15 architecture is 2.5GHz. The SoC with 3GHz can significantly increase the frequency on the Cortex-A9 architecture because it uses the 28nm FD-SOI (fully depleted SOI) process.

3GHz is the frequency it can reach. The initial version of L8580 only has 2.5GHz. PowerVR 544 is built in, and the operating frequency is increased to 600MHz. Officially, the CPU performance is 35% better and the GPU performance is improved by 20%.

Although the frequency is quite powerful, energy saving is still the advantage of this SoC. It is officially announced that the power consumption will be reduced by more than 50% under 1GHz and 0.6V standby. In addition, the SoC also integrates baseband and can support WCDMA, HSPA+,TD-SCDMA,LTE-TD。
