FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- ESS Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ESST) today announced that total shipments of its ES3210 single-chip
Video CD MPEG-1 chip have passed the one million units mark.
"The ES3210 chip is our second-generation video CD chip, following our
very successful ES3204," said Johnston Chen, vice president, Asia-Pacific
sales at ESS. "The ES3210 offers our customers the latest in advanced
features and performance quality for VCD players that is highly integrated and
features integrated RAM, power management, and a smaller package size, so it
