Petz - Re: "CDMA functionality will always be integrated into silicon, not a GP CPU in cell phones. Why? When you are making 100's of thousands of units which require a fixed function like CDMA demodulation, its always cheaper and uses less power to use custom silicon. Even a general purpose DSP chip is too power hungry." Good grief - are you PROFESSING that integration has come to a STOP ??? Sounds like you're getting really nervous about Intel's full potential ! Are you worried about the impact on AMD's shrinking Flash future ? Re: "its always cheaper and uses less power to use custom silicon. " Always cheaper to use custom silicon ? You have no clue as to why General Purpose Microprocessors and standard programmable logic have been HUGE SUCCESS STORIES ! Paul
