[ASAP] It's a rather long article, more a rebuttal of an earlier piece by George Gilder: forbes.com Focusing on gigabits per second as a prime spec, these devices may well eclipse CPUs in raw processing pace and find a wide range of applications in digital radio, real-time compression and decompression, pattern recognition, echo- cancellation and other digital signal processing uses. The demands of these applications have already impelled an array of processing and architectural advances at Microunity, Texas Instruments and elsewhere in the pullulating field of DSP. Unconstrained by proprietary legacies and immense installed bases, perhaps other manufacturers will also find ways to excel the Moore's Law pace of Intel's majestic progress down the learning curve of three-volt CMOS technology.

ASAP and Gilder Andy -- I didn't have the right article yesterday. I think this is the one you had in mind. This excerpt was posted on the Amati thread, therefore the Amati/TXN quote, and I don't know if it's only in print or on the web. I'll try to find it. :) Pat <<< From Forbes ASAP Feb. 23, 1997 Telecosm Outlook: 1998 HOT PIPING by George Gilder "DSP's Take Center Stage" " The ADSL Dilemma" "Enter Texas Instruments. Expanding it's role in the xDSL high-bandwidth modem market, Texas Instruments announced on Nov. 19, 1997, it's purchase of Amati Communications for $395 million in cash.
