As ASIC design tools and methodology have become more sophisticated, it is common to integrate the CPU/DSP with memory and additional circuitry on a chip, then package it with additional chips that adds other functionality. Hey, w, good to hear from you. Yes, to a non-tecchie, it makes good sense. I don't recall who made the observation in the post to which you responded. Aside from Q!'s lead-time on CDMA ASIC design, are there other aspects of the system-on-a-chip design, in which additional circuitry/interface with the software with the different functionality, would confer on Qualcomm a built-in advantage? I suppose that the answer to that is no. Hope you are doing well. Best regards. Steven
