"By licensing ARM technologies, LG Electronics will be able to offer a future proofed premium quality digital tv experience for today's connected home," said Seung-Jong Choi, research fellow of Digital TV Lab, LG Electronics. "The connected home relies on technology that is fully functional and that guarantees a high quality, energy efficient multimedia experience. With Web 2.0 requirements moving into a connected and high definition home, LG Electronics has selected the ARM architecture to guarantee longevity for our own technology."
Mike Inglis, general manager of ARM's processor division, added: "The combination of ARM cpu and Mali graphics processors clearly represents a compelling package for DTV and connected home technology manufacturers, who will be able to provide their customers with integrated, high quality internet connected devices that are proven to be energy efficient."
