Manitoba (computer chip)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intel PXA800F, code name Manitoba, was a system-on-a-chip (SoC) introduced by Intel in 2003 for use in GSM- and GPRS-enabled mobile phones. The chip was built around an XScale processor core, the likes of which had been used in PDAs, clocked at 312 MHz and manufactured with a 0.13 μm process, with 4 MB of integrated flash memory and a digital signal processor.[1]

A prototype board with the chip was demoed during the Intel Developer Forum.[2] Intel noted it was in talks with leading mobile phone manufacturers, such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, about incorporating Manitoba into their phones.[3]

O2 XM, released in 2005, was the only mobile phone with a documented use of the Manitoba chip.[4] An Intel executive stated that the chip version used in the phone was reworked to be less expensive than the initial one.[5] Manitoba was succeeded by the PXA900, code name Hermon, which supported 3G. and continued being marketed by Marvell as they acquired Intel's XScale business.[6][7]
