Major Chip Manufacturers Choose 1998 CES to Showcase Latest Technology
Las Vegas, NV, January 8, 1998 - The world's largest annual showcase of consumer technology, the 1998 International CES, will for the first time feature virtually all of the major manufacturers of integrated circuits (ICs) that help power today's high-tech products.
New products featuring sophisticated microprocessors, memory chips, and digital signal processors (DSPs) will be displayed by leading semiconductor manufacturers such as: AMD, C-Cube, Digital, Genesis, Intel, LSI Logic, Motorola, Oak Technology, Pacific Microsystems, Philips, Rockwell, Siemens, Texas Instruments, and Zilog.
"System on a chip technology is being adopted at a rapid rate by consumer electronics companies," explained Jim Pena, director of marketing at LSI Logic. "As a leading supplier of semiconductors for next generation consumer electronics, LSI Logic sees CES as an opportunity to demonstrate our leading edge technologies and meet with key decision makers from the industry."
Robbi Lycett, vice president of CES, noted that, "PCs, digital audio and video products, new wireless technologies - all of these products rely on state-of-the-art chips to make them smaller, faster, and better. Nowhere else but CES can chip manufacturers meet with the engineers and decision makers from so many leading consumer product manufacturers, all in one place."
Another of the CES highlights will be a showcase of digital television (DTV), including the world's commercial debut of digital high-definition television (HDTV). Several conference sessions will focus on the impact of DTV in the high-tech marketplace.
Leading engineers from top consumer electronics companies will converge on the Digital Engineering Conference (DEC) -- the Consumer Electronics Future, which is being held in conjunction with CES, January 12-14, 1998 at the Las Vegas Hilton. Produced annually by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA) and co-sponsored by the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society, the DEC is geared toward engineers and product development managers who look to gain technical insight on trends, changes and advancements in digital audio, video, computer and access technologies, plus be able to enhance professional contacts and cross engineering disciplines.
