Broadband Consumer Apps Will Drive Silicon EE Times - 02/12/99, 11:36 a.m. ET The merger of consumer electronics and broadband networking will drive semiconductor technology in the next decade, keynoters will tell the International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) this month. Pointing the way to such silicon, Toshiba and Sony Computer Entertainment jointly will detail a 128-bit processor with 10 floating point multiply accumulators and four floating-point divider units built in a 0.18-micron process. The chip, which supports MPEG-2 decoding, is believed to be a central part of a next-generation Sony PlayStation that could merge high-end 3-D with DVD-based games. techweb.com o~~~ O
