| The new high-end Qosmio laptops from Toshiba features a Cell Processor (like used in the Playstation 3) to speedup video rendering & for improved upscaling. |
Toshiba's new Quad Core HD Processor is at the heart of Toshiba's new upscaling technology. It integrates high definition H.264 a& MPEG2 encoders & decoders alongside 4 128bit SIMD RISC processor & works in parallel with the device's CPU.
It's not just upscaling that the chip helps with either. It can also video index material by 'remembering' faces on film, something which could be invaluable for videomakers. As is the chip's ability to increase video editing and transcoding times.
It's unclear as to what products Toshiba will be launching in the next few months with the upscaling chip, like announced before , however the laptops announced all feature the technology.
