Tenfold sales over PC? In a promotional flurry coinciding with the introduction of the XC last month, Acer chairman and CEO Stan Shih proclaimed that ten years from now XCs will outnumber PCs tenfold. Claiming that Asian computing needs are inherently different from those in the U.S., Shih asserted Asians will prefer computers that are cheap and able to address specific needs by providing specific functions. news.com I have a funny feeling that Stan Shih/Acer and Brian Halla/NSM were talking the same thing with the same target. :)) Fuchi ... who loves Cyrix's innovations Please support the PC industry & protect consumer interest techstocks.com

ACER has been firm and up ever since they announced sub-$200 XC to sub-$1,000 PC project. We might see NSM appreciate considerably once Acer fully discloses their XC and NC lines. It is quite a simple question who has the most affordable x86 processors to help Acer to reach their tenfold sales over PC target? I would speculate that Acer is going to convert their TI co-invest fab factory in Taiwan from RAM to the more lucrative logic IC for NSM soon.
