Android Audio Offload Explained at Mobile World Congress
Want to lower power in your next AndroidTM device? Look to the industry's first Android-compatible technology for a licensed audio DSP. The Tensilica® HiFi Audio Tunneling for Android takes full advantage of the enhancements in the recent KitKat release to prolong battery life, cutting audio processing power by up to 14X, which results in double the smartphone playback time.
