Intel squares off for handset slugfest with TI By Darrell Dunn, Electronic Buyers' News Sep 22, 2000 URL: ebnews.com Taking another swing at Texas Instruments Inc. in its grand plan to conquer the market for handheld communications equipment, Intel Corp. is unveiling a technology platform based around its XScale microprocessor. Immediately distinguishing itself from TI's DSP-driven efforts, the Intel Personal Client Architecture (IPCA) is based on the company's belief that new handheld devices will require more powerful RISC-style processing engines to handle the bulk of the work load. Not surprisingly, Intel unveiled the architecture this week at the Intel Developer Forum in Japan, where the company already has a presence in cellular handsets. Semi-related but noteworthy in its mention in the article: Intel is jointly developing the so-called Frio DSP with Analog Devices Inc. as part of a next-generation handheld-communications platform that executives have acknowledged will be integral to the package. The Frio is expected to be launched sometime before the end of this year, although Intel has made little public mention of the chip. "I think Intel is still ashamed to say DSP," said Will Strauss, an analyst at Forward Concepts Co., Tempe, Ariz. "But DSP will have to be a part of any 3G cellular-handset solution." snip<> Jim
