Scumbria - Re: "A little history on the product's namesake:"

A little history on the MXi :

Announced October 15, 1997 for delivery in the second half of 1998.

Tape out 1 in 1998 - something wasn't right.

Tape out 2 in 1998 - something wasn't right.

Tape out 3 in 1998 - about a week ago - on 0.25 micron process.

Halla admits the 0.25 micron MXi will not go to production.

Too Slow? Burns Too much power? Too Large a die size? Halla won't say.

NSM is now developing a 0.18 micron process.(Halla and friends are HAPPY CAMPERs with the 0.18 micron process. MXi will have to be shrunk or re-laid out and will not ship until 1999.

Looks like Halla is searching for a river of his own - to sink in.
