<<TI will not let Amati fall into another COs hands>> I tend to agree with you Jim. I'd like for someone to 'force' Texas to pay more, but I'm not counting on it. They're the King Kong of DSPs. Texas really comes out the winner here. Their own DMT patents coupled with Amatis and Alcatels gives them some real creative forces. The Amati board, facing the realities of the market, has twice, in a matter of months, unanimously urged it's shareholders to approve of an acquisition . They've carried the ball as far as they could. Now give it to gorilla! What I would like to know is who will market the definitive ADSL/VDSL end to end solution. Given that the best intellect is in TI's chips --who will market the finished product? The other gorilla? sg A retrospective: The release of Texas Instruments' latest fixed-point chip, the TMS320C6201, on February 3, 1997, is attracting significant attention to the DSP industry. This new invention from one of the largest pioneers in the chip industry uses several processing innovation to crunch 1,600 Mips, 13 times faster than any fixed-point chip previously on the market, permitting a fast fourier transform to be completed in 70 microseconds. As the significance of this innovation impacts the market, recognition of DSP capabilities may become more common-knowledge. Semiconductors analyst David Johnson said, "Companies like Texas Instruments, Lucent Technologies and Analog Devices have dedicated themselves to developing technologies for the digital revolution as primary business strategies. It can be expected that a number of companies will seek to integrate DSP cores, computational units or instruction sets in their devices in the near future."
