GoForce

The Nvidia GoForce was a line of chipsets that was used mainly in handheld devices such as PDAs and mobile phones. It has been replaced by the Nvidia Tegra series of SoCs.

Features

GoForce 2150

Featuring 1.3-megapixel camera support, JPEG support, and 2D acceleration. Supports 3-megapixel images with the upgrade.

GoForce 3000/GoForce 4000

The GoForce 4000 supports 3.0-megapixel camera and MPEG-4/H.263 codec, whilst GoForce 3000 is a low-cost version of the GoForce 4000 with limited features.

GoForce 4500

Features 3D graphics support with a geometry processor and programmable pixel shaders, used in the Gizmondo device.

GoForce 4800

Supports 3.0-megapixel camera and a 3D graphics engine.

GoForce 5500

The GoForce 5500 is a multimedia processor, incorporates Tensilica Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine[1] (based on the Xtensa LX processor licensed in 2005[2][3][4][5]). It can decode video and audio formats, such as WMV, WMA, MP3, MP4, MPEG, JPEG and supports H.264. Also including a 24-bit 64-voice sound processor with supports up to 32 MB of external memory, 10-megapixel camera support, and 3D graphics engine version 2.

GoForce 5300

Equipped with 2.25 MiB embedded DRAM (eDRAM) on TSMC's 65 nm process,[6] being the first in the GoForce product line. Its multimedia technology is claimed to be similar to the 5500's, but it does not sport a 3D engine and only supports much smaller screens.

GoForce 6100

The latest chipset in the series, the GoForce 6100, claiming the first applications processor by NVIDIA,[6] adds 10-megapixel camera support and integrated 802.11b/g support (with external RF), based on a 130 nm process.[6] It contains a 250 MHz ARM1176JZ-S core.[7]
