Great find REH, everyone here has been searching for non-PC related RMBS enabled chip applications. I believe it was Kenny who pointed out, infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure. Hazard a guess the kind of market we're talking about here? bp

REH, At first I thought this was a competitive threat, but just the opposite- another design win for RMBS! MileHigh XipChip, fabricated for Xionics by IBM Microelectronics of Burlington, Vt., incorporates an IBM PowerPC 401 processor core, a RAMBUS memory interface, compression hardware including the world's fastest JBIG, and Xionics' proprietary image processing logic for low-memory print, copy, "mopy," scan and fax functions. XipChip is the processor in the Ricoh Bizworks 406 printer-copier, which began shipping to customers in October.

REH: <<incorporates an IBM PowerPC 401 processor core, a RAMBUS memory interface, compression hardware including the world's fastest JBIG, and Xionics' proprietary image processing logic for low-memory print, copy, "mopy," scan and fax functions.>> I believe that the Power PC processor listed above is the same family as that used in the Palm Pilots, although I have been unable to confirm. Palm Pilots would represent a wonderful "killer app" where the increased b/w would provide immediate and significant benefit. I guess that we should add 3Com to the list of licensing agreements to watch for. I'll try and get confirmation on the processor for the thread... BP
