Nomadik

Processor family

• STn8800 Based on ARM926EJ-S, announced in December 2003.{{cite web

• STn8810 Based on ARM926EJ-S, announced in February 2005, and running at 264MHz. According to PDAdb.net this processor was used in Samsung GT-C6625, GT-C6620, SGH-i200 (all running Windows Mobile 6.1) and LG KS10 (running Symbian).{{cite web

• STn8811 Based on ARM926EJ-S, the STn8811 was originally announced alongside the STn8810 in February 2005, initially claimed running at a higher 350MHz clock speed, and in stacked packaging options including 32MB of SDRAM and 64MB of Flash memory. However, the product did not appear to be released to market until August 2007, when STMicro finally announced the release of the STn8811, but running at a higher 393MHz.

• STn8812 Also announced alongside the STn8810 in February 2005, with identical specifications to the STn8811 but with a claimed 64 MB of SDRAM, however this processor did not appear to ever see a commercial release.

• STn8815 Based on ARM926EJ-S, announced in February 2006. This processor built upon the STn8810 and STn8811, with the addition of 512Kib SRAM and 128kiB Level 2 cache, while the processor speed was maintained at 334MHz. The processor functionality was also enhanced with the addition of more powerful hardware acceleration for image processing (supporting up-to 5MP cameras), as well as featuring enhanced video encoding (VGA, H.263, 30 fps) and decoding (VGA H.264) multimedia support.{{cite web

• STn8820 Based on ARM11, announced in February 2008 with 32KiB data and instruction caches and 256KiB level 2 cache, clocked at 528 MHz, and featuring the addition of a dedicated 3D OpenGL ES 2.0 accelerator, the ATI Imageon Z460.{{cite web

• STn8830 was evidently planned for 45 nanometer silicon technology but appears to have been cancelled.{{cite web

A derivative of the Nomadik was created specifically for navigation systems (GPS), named Cartesio STA2062. This was used in products from Garmin such as the Nüvi 205 and Nüvi 500.{{cite web

The Nomadik family has been discontinued. In 2009, when development had already begun on a successor SoC called STn8500, it was superseded by the NovaThor family from ST-Ericsson and renamed U8500 as the ST-NXP Wireless division was merged into the ST-Ericsson joint venture.{{cite web
