AMDers, BIG TIME COMPETITION!!! Here's one of Log Point Technologies (LGPT) recent press releases. I would recommend that everyone read through all of their PRs. Sounds very impressive. Wednesday April 21, 10:30 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Log Point to Begin Shipping SuperSpeed to Customers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 1999--Log Point Technologies (OTC BB:LGPT), a leading developer of superior software products and hardware designs for embedded computation, announced today that it is finalizing licensing agreement documents for its initial software customers. Log Point will now be shipping its SuperSpeed software products immediately to its first customers. Although Log Point can't formally disclose its clients' names until all agreements are completed, it does expect to make them public in a formal announcement in the near future. Log Point's sales and marketing efforts will accelerate as new major financing comes online. Log Point's SuperSpeed(TM) Floating Point Software provides cost-effective, integrated solutions for real-time controller designs. They improve speed of tougher nonlinear numerical computations by 10 - 100 times, outperform competing floating point software products and offer performance comparable to hardware solutions -- and in many cases much faster. ''Our Soft Co-Processors empower manufacturers to indirectly improve their profit margins, increase market share, shorten development time and extend the lives of their existing products. Since announcing last October that we had moved from beta testing to commercial distribution, several major companies have evaluated it and the response has been tremendous. They are all close to finalizing their tests and we expect to sign several of them shortly,'' states Samuel Shanks, president and CEO of Log Point Technologies. At this point, it is difficult to evaluate the entire financial impact, but the sales increase can be substantial. Log Point has estimated its annual market potential to be $100+ million from software royalties alone. ''Within the next 90 - 180 days, we should have a fairly reliable picture of exactly how much revenues our software product lines will be able to produce. By October of this year, we'll also be ready to roll-out our new hardware product lines, further increasing the company's earning potential,'' explains Shanks. Log Point's Soft Co-Processor is available for all volume manufacturer 32-bit integer embedded RISC microprocessor architectures, such as Sun Microsystems' (Nasdaq:SUNW - news) SPARC (including Fujitsu's SPRAClite 930 Series), Hitachi's (NYSE:HIT - news) SH Series, Mitsubishi, IBM (NYSE:IBM - news) and Motorola's (NYSE:MOT - news) PowerPC, Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE:HP - news) Precision Architecture, ARM, MIPS and ARC architectures and 32-bit microprocessors, such as Intel's (Nasdaq:INTC - news) 386, 486 and Pentium microprocessors. The Soft Co-Processor C++ class libraries can be used with any of the popular C/C++ compliers on the market, from such vendors as Microsoft (NYSE:MSFT - news), Inprise (Nasdaq:INPR - news), Metaware, Watcom, CAD-UL, Daib Data and Greenhills. Log Point Technologies has third-party relations with Microsoft, IBM, Intel, National Semiconductor (NYSE:NSM - news), Fujitsu, Motorola, Mitsubishi, Inprise, Integrated Systems (Nasdaq:INTS - news) and WindRiver Systems. Many of these companies' Web sites link back to the Log Point web site. In most cases, Soft Co-Processor can replace the discontinued hardware, which can lead to considerable revenue for Log Point.
