Texas Instruments has told Intel and Nvidia that they will not be fighting against each other for a slice of the smartphone market.

TI has been upgrading its ARM-design-based processors, which are snuggly installed inside Samsung and Palm machines.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we saw TI announcing a new OMAP 4 mobile chip platform that will allow smartphones to do 1080p video record and playback and integrate 20-megapixel cameras.

According to TI the OMAP 4 will deliver 10-times-faster Web page loading times, more than seven times higher computing performance, and 10 times better graphics performance than its current OMAP processors.

TI also said it would be releasing a chip based on 45 nanometer technology for its OMAP 3 family.
