Broadcom outs new dual-core processor for Android

If you’ve not notice, Broadcom is giving Google a lot of love of late, with the announcement of its second Android-ready processor in as many months hitting us today.
The new BCM28150 is a big step up from its predecessor (released in December), and sports a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 clocked at 1.1GHz. The chip is actually quite impressive: an HSPA+ modem doing 21Mbps; and Broadcom’s VideoCore IV VPU (vector processing unit).
What’s more, it touts 12-megapixel camera imaging, 3D video and gaming at 1080p, HDMI out, and the obligatory Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS amenities. If the BCM28150 is your bag, Broadcom plans to demo the thing in Barcelona next week. Let’s see how this fares with Nvidia’s love for Google, the Tegra 2 that’s been heavily featured in many of Android products.
