About QEDI ...
Quantum Effect Devices, Inc. was founded in 1991 to design, develop and market high-performance, cost-effective, market-driven MIPS embedded microprocessor solutions. The company designed and developed the most popular of the 64-bit MIPS microprocessors on the market today including the R4600?, R4700?, R4650?, R4640? and R5000?.
In October 1996, QED expanded its business model to become a fabless semiconductor vendor. Under its own RISCMark label, QED offers the RM5200 family (RM5230?, RM5231?, RM5261?, RM5271?) and the RM7000? fourth generation high-performance MIPS microprocessor.
The high-end segment of the embedded microprocessor market is currently experiencing phenomenal growth. This growth is fueled by the demand in two broad application segments ? communications and embedded computing applications. Many emerging markets, driven by the Internet communications explosion and the need for Internet convergence products, require a new breed of embedded processors. These markets include internetworking, Windows CE, high-speed printers, games, RAID storage, Internet TV/ set-top boxes/cable modems and high-speed communications devices.
QED?s high-performance, MIPS microprocessors are tailored to meet the unique requirements of these high-growth embedded market segments by providing scalability, compatibility and the right mix of price/performance options. |
