Scumbria, Re: NSM vs Chromatics approach Clearly there were differences. However the NSM approach is even weaker. When you do everything in logic you fix bugs by making mask changes by re-running masks and silicon. And with VDSM in hi-performance designs this can become an endless loop as one fix causes other breaks due to new routing. So until everything is PERFECT you can not ship anything. And you are only as strong as your weakest link and latest bug. What they should have done is done a single chip GX in a PBGA and they would have had 266-300Mhz performance in a $20-30 solution. They could have had this out over a year ago and would be dominating the handheld PC market using CE. While folks are using ARM chips and Hitachi processors. The market is moving to RISC chips running CE for appliances. NSM is a year late and a few hundred million dollars short. Regards, Kash
