iPhone 3G chipset revealed

Posted on 09 April 2008 by Phoenix


In todays news, it seems that Zibri, the creator of the popular Ziphone has discovered a very interesting piece of information.
With the release of the newest beta software for the iPhone, Zibri found a small piece of information in the packaging that confirms that 3G will be coming to the iPhone.
What was revealed was the implementation of a new chipset in the iPhone. The Infineon S-GOLD3H. What is this you ask? It is Infineon’s baseband processor that will be used in the up coming iPhone.

S-GOLD3H: Infineon’s baseband processor supports HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) data rates of up to 7.2 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for the mid-range multimedia phone segment.

With this new chip, data rates will double. People will awe and drool and the iPhone will again be breaking barriers with its new unleashed power.

Infineon states. . .

“Infineon strives for innovative integration of functionalities into its chips to provide our customers with a wide range of reference platforms designed for all segments of the mobile industry, from ultra-low-cost phones to feature phones, including technology ranging from 2G, or second generation, to 3.5G. Our new HSDPA chip enables more than triple the data rates possible in mass market phones today. This makes broadband multimedia applications, such as video streaming or high-speed audio/ video download, available to the mass market,” said Professor Dr. Hermann Eul, Member of the Board and head of the Communication Solutions business group at Infineon Technologies AG. “The scalability, versatility and completeness of our latest reference design platform enable our customers to meet extremely challenging time-to-market requirements when evolving from 2.75G phones to 3G and 3.5G phones, while being flexible enough to quickly adapt to changing markets.”

So folks, get ready for a roller coaster of events to be rolling out within the next couple of months.
Maybe finally, us folks over here in Japan will be able to bask in the glory of owning a new 3G iPhone soon.
