More news from YUK:
NatSemi starts to fab System on a Chip

Brian Halla, CEO of National Semiconductor, said at the Computex Trade Fair today that information appliances and thin Windows clients will overtake sales by the PC in both the office and the home, possibly as early as the end of next year.
I hope Halla continues to take his medication regularly.
He said the chip, called Information Appliance (IA) on a chip, had already booted Windows 98.
Considering it was supposed to ship this month, I am not sure this is a good news.
"We have the solution a month early in Israel. As well as a Media GX core, the chip, which is being shown on the Cyrix stand at te show, will come in .25 micron technology, and measure around 1.2 centimetres. It includes USB ports, RTCs, Super/IO, South Bridge technology, and an MPEG engine. The chip also includes a number of analog interfaces including TV and CRT convertors.
I guess this all depends on your definition of "month early" (as our commander in Chief would say).
For something scheduled to ship in June, my definition of month early is May. The article doesn't provide the definition of it's title: NatSemi starts to fab System on a Chip
With NSM, your guess as to the meaning of "starting to fab" is as good as mine.
