Paul, Article...Intel Changes Tune on Media Processors...

February 26, 1998

MULTIMEDIA WEEK via NewsEdge Corporation -- Intel Changes Tune on Media Processors

Intel Corp. [INTC] officials confirmed they're working on a motherboard architecture that incorporates a modem, 3D, DVD and audio playback capabilities on one chip. The company initially dismissed some of the early media processor work done by Chromatic Research Inc., Samsung Semiconductor and Phillips Semiconductors' TriMedia division but may integrate multimedia functions in software on a media co-processor. Such a strategy would rely more heavily on the Pentium II. On the processor front, Intel's first chip targeted at the sub- $1,000 PC market is code-named Covington and scheduled to ship in the next few months. By year's end Intel also plans to ship a notebook version of the I740 3-D chip, leveraging the expertise of recently acquired Chips and Technologies Inc.
