Mile High,

Re: ...there might be a move to integrate the CDMA ASIC technology onto a WIA chip. Is this physically possible? Does it make sense?

I am no chip designer, but have had a similar question on my mind for some time. Found some info on LSI Logic website a few weeks ago that may pertain, but not being too tech savvy I don't know for sure. It describes, in general terms, LSI's approach to 3G wireless chip design (system-on-a-chip). What caught my eye initially was the listing of Rambus as a "core building block" (since I am long Rambus in addition to Q). But this info may be pertinent to your question as well. Note LSI is both a Q and a Rambus licensee.

lsilogic.com

I am not qualified to interpret all the info that's here, but would be interested in insights from anyone on the thread who could shed light on:

1. What possible memory requirements might be for 3G data applications.

2. Any known interactions between Q and Rambus re chip design or any other collaborations.

3. Whether Q is approaching 3G chip design in a similarly integrated way.

Any info/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

jack
