So what can you do with 125 million transistors?

Timeline Technology

125 million transistors. That's roughly the number of transistors found in 30 Pentium™ Pro processors. Or 30 UltraSPARCs™. Or 2,000 ARM processors™. It's about the combined total of all devices in a high-end PC with 16 megabytes of RAM.

Now, it's also the number of transistors that Texas Instruments can pack onto one 24 millimeter square chip with the TImeline technology 0.18 micron platform.

TImeline makes possible levels of integration never before within reach. In many applications, single-chip systems -- with their advantages in performance, size, power conservation and cost -- become practical at last.

Whether they are concerned most about performance, size, power consumption or system cost, equipment makers clamor for greater semiconductor integration. They want the technical advantages of greater silicon capacity. And they demand the reduced development time available through the use of existing cores and application-specific modules.

TI's new TImeline platform, with 125 million transistor capacity, low power requirement and lightning performance potential, opens a new era for these equipment manufacturers. It clears the way for a multitude of new or advanced products to serve the networked society.
