If you're goading me to defend VLIW, I won't. It sucks.

The TriMedia 2's press release yesterday is almost an open admission that VLIW's time is not here yet -- at least not for multimedia. It has a SLICE LAYER HARDWIRED FUNCTION BLOCK to do all the dirty work of MPEG video decode.

Equator's giant die size has to resort to transcoding -- the drifting kiss of death.
