NEC, Philips in IP effort

NEC and Philips are joining forces to develop MIPS-based
systems-on-chips for consumer products. They are also taking a "bilateral
approach" to smooth out the thorny problems created by integrating cores
and are establishing an exchange system to handle it, David Lammers writes
in EE Times.

Engineers from the two firms will also work to solve the industry-wide
issues, such as test and verification, facing the VSI Alliance. They're
beginning by adding the MIPS 4300 core to Philips' interactive set-top
boxes. This market will be huge, they say, predicting that
processor-peripheral ICs for the digital consumer market will hit over 100
million annually by 2000, equaling the MPUs needed for the PC market that
year.
