This is from post #9509 and suggests that die size is only part of the story. Does the new chip have some real advantages?

C-Cube's newest chip, the CL680, is the world's first single-chip video CD decoder
with the built-in capability of scaling any type of video material to a full-screen picture
on a television.

For manufacturers, the new chip means that video CD players will be US$6 to $8
cheaper to assemble because manufacturerswill not need to buy and insert a separate
NTSC/PAL encoder
.

Does ESST's chip require a NTSC/PAL encoder?
