On the other hand does the increased opening for jobs mean that they have lost employees and must replace them? David

Intel StrongArm's Digital Video................................ eet.com Posted: 3:00 p.m., EDT, 7/24/98 Intel to reveal details on StrongARM chip By Rick Boyd-Merritt and Peter Clarke PALO ALTO, Calif. - At next month's Hot Chips conference that will convene here the paper on the StrongARM 1500 microprocessor will mark a significant new direction for Intel Corp. Intel will for the first time discuss a specific product it apparently backs. Prashant P. Gandhi, a senior engineer in the StrongARM and Bridges division of Intel's Computer Enhancement Group (Chandler, Ariz.), will detail the StrongARM 1500 as a part aimed at everything from set-top boxes and digital TVs to modem banks and video games. The chip combines a 32-bit StrongARM 110 core with a DSP-like, dual-issue media processor in a single 60 mm2 die that draws less than 2.5 W at 2 V and runs at 300 MHz. Designers say the chip, which incorporates 3.3 million transistors and is built in a 0.28-micron process, can run MPEG-2 MP@ML video decoding and a software modem in parallel. Sources inside and outside the company suggest what could follow within a few weeks are more details about a family based on as many as three different StrongARM designs with the potential to propel the X86 giant into a whole new position in the embedded world.
