The latest from Semiconductor Business News.................... Selected articles: techweb.cmp.com Intel, Samsung get closer Ask Samsung Semi president Yoon-Woo Lee what makes his company different from other DRAM makers charging into embedded logic and he answers simply: "Intel." His deal with the MPU giant to turn out a single-chip graphics controller with embedded DRAM "could create the large volumes critical to making Samsung a viable suppler of systems on a chip," he tells EBN's Jack Robertson in an interview recently in his Kiheung office. He also expects to be in production early next year on an embedded 16-meg graphics chip developed with Chips & Technologies, which Intel is acquiring. Samsung's ties with Intel are getting stronger. It is a major SRAM supplier to Intel, while the chip maker has a 10% stake in its new Austin fab. Shooting the moon! A big bet will be placed this next week when Hitachi unveils its SH-4 embedded CPU delivering 360 Mips and VLSI Technology reveals its system-on-a-chip strategy built around the SH-4 core and Windows CE. They are betting the combined power of the SH-4, PCI-bus capability, and a beefed-up release of Windows CE from Microsoft will pave the way to a new type of convergence product that pushes beyond standalone Web-TV and big-screen PCs, Alexander Wolfe writes in EE Times. It likely will combine game platform, Internet-access device, and a DVD player in one unit. First systems will likely be previewed in January, with forecasts calling for a 20 million-unit market by '99. But plenty of competition is coming up fast.
