TI STILL STRUGGLES WITH C6X
Fourteen months after introducing its C6X, Texas Instruments is still grinding through a major transition to this radically new digital-signal-processor architecture. The shift, as well as the design issues it raised, has been as dramatic as Intel's move to the Merced MPU, Stephan Ohr writes in EE Times.
C6X is the 1st DSP to offer massively parallel computational resources and that allows programming in C. Supporters of the C6X acknowledge it is power hungry and difficult to exploit fully. Critics point to compiler inefficiencies and bugs in the chip. While analysts and users expect TI to ultimately whip these problems, the firm is not yet out of the woods. Samples are "still hard to come by," says one user. Another suggests that production schedules have slipped, but TI claims it has shipped thousands of units to hundreds of customers.
