Getgo, >>>There is a posting this evening on the xlnx thread which notes that equipment manufacturers (telecommunications) are moving away from customized ASIC's and moving towards commodity chips.<<< I said something very much like that in this post (last paragraph): exchange2000.com Of course it would not be good for LSI if it were to start happening on a large scale. I personally have no idea of the possibilities of that, or how long it might be before the momentum of SOCs would start to slow. However, I'm sure companies that use ASICs will look at other alternatives for new designs on a case by case basis, especially since embedded MPUs or microcontrollers are so cheap and easy to use now.
