regarding floating point dsp's MY understanding is that at the high end dsp cores that ADI's sharc floating point is taking business from TI. With the availability of C67x floating point from TI they will leap frog ADI. I agree also re the need for speed memeory size to all increase while cost is bound to come down. What's New Abstracts: DSP Solutions: -------------- New TMS320C54x DSPs from TI Combine Industry's Lowest Power Dissipation with Highest Performance in Smallest Space HOUSTON (June 29, 1998) -- Two new digital signal processors from Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE: TXN) combine the industry's lowest power dissipation with 100 MIPS of performance into a package the size of a thumbnail. These power-efficient, ultra-small DSPs, designated the TMS320C549 and the TMS320C5410, will enable designers of wireless and wireline communications systems to provide more channels per watt than any other DSPs on the market. ti.com I see TI being in the best position: talent, vision, money and great third party support to grow their market share develop new applications and be a growth company although with a narrow focus ie dsp. All comments welcome. I'd like to see some of the EE discuss some of the merits of the dsp companies current and future. BTW I also own stock in ADI and SSPIF. ie not all my eggs in one basket. I like ADI alot but given their size I think they will need to partner/merge or will losse out with time all IMO Norden
