MAPLE chip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MAPLE,also Maple of maple, is a mobile phone chip. It is the first ever mobile phone chip to be fabricated using 65 nano-metre technology.^{[citation needed]} It has been developed by Infineon, a German based chip developing firm, with co-operation from Indian hard ware engineers.^{[citation needed]}

It is also considered to be the most densely populated processor for a mobile phone. IBM and Samsung are also said to be involved in this project.^{[citation needed]} It is yet to hit the market (as of May 17 2006)

[edit] Miscellanea

• One nanometre is one-ninetieth of a metre, and 65 nano metres is about 35 sq mm the size of a finger nail.^{[citation needed]}
• It is the most densely populated processor for a mobile phone.^{[citation needed]}
• It contains 30 million transistors.^{[citation needed]}
• The MAPLE will be able to have more features, than present phones with the same power.^{[citation needed]}
