Scumbria, another vision for computers is the DSP chip
Intel vision=totally GP processor
NSM=special purpose processors
Analog Devices, Texas Instr.=programmable DSP

DSP chips have occasionally been used in things like combo modem/sound cards, but haven't really caught on inside computers.

Reduced product life cycle may eventually change that

The same tradeoff between special purposs processors and programmable DSP's is also present in the cell phone industry, GPS receivers, digital radios and digital TV's.
