What the Industry Analysts Say About TI's TMS320C6x DSP Generation
"TI once again demonstrates its DSP leadership by being first
to market with the highest performance DSP ever. My mind boggles
at all of the applications that will become practical with the
unprecedented 1600 MIPS performance of the 'C6x. For starters,
the new DSP will meet a huge market demand for exploding datacom
and telecom applications at a price that will seal the deal on
many designs. It's also impressive that TI is delivering both
the silicon and the support today."
Will Strauss
"TI's use of 0.25 micron five-level metal for its new DSP
line places TI in a leadership position in comparison to most
silicon vendors who are manufacturing at 0.35 micron. This, combined
with TI's 0.18um TImeline Technology, puts TI in the world's leadership
position for bringing advanced process technology to market for
the benefit of their customers."
G. Dan Hutcheson
"With the 'C6x, TI is establishing an unprecedented DSP price/performance
point in the industry. This level of DSP performance will enable
new applications and expand emerging technologies. With 1600
MIPS performance, TI is poised to help customers meet end-user
demands for more personalization, connectivity and portability
in their products. We expect to see new classes of applications
with the 'C6x price/performance."
Jim Feldhan
"This new DSP chip from TI could revolutionize communications designs. Its unprecedented level of integration gives the performance and price point that designers need to open up a whole new level of applications we haven't even thought of yet. It's like offering a programmable ASIC that's easy to use and cost effective."
Joyce Putscher
"Applications like communications infrastructure can use as much DSP horsepower as you can throw at them. With the 320C6x family, Texas Instruments has reset all of the targets in the high end of digital signal processing. The sophisticated architecture implements some advanced techniques which allow the software to squeeze the greatest performance out of the chip. The 200 MHz clocking frequency and multiple processing components pump up the performance so that one chip can handle the work of many older DSPs. With a price under $100, TI is assuring it will get a lot of attention from the biggest DSP applications."
Tom Starnes
"The 'C6x series offers an order-of-magnitude performance
increase that will launch the largest wave yet of DSP use in both
current and, more importantly, as-yet-unforeseen real-time signal
processing applications. These chips will clearly perform the
functions of several different classes of today's communication
equipment simultaneously, and they will create a larger total
future hardware market opportunity for everyone involved in the
industry."
Justin Smith
"Texas Instruments brings a tremendous breakthrough to the
market with the new 'C6x digital signal processor. The 'C6x arrives
at a time when demand for base stations continues to grow. Today,
with the environment lobbying for smaller base stations or pico-stations,
this new TI DSP makes them a reality."
David Kerr
"The wireless market in the U.S. is going through a fundamental
transition from a duopoly to a highly competitive, consumer-focused
industry. For the service providers, the ability to deploy new
network and base station technology faster than the competition
will provide an important competitive edge. Successful carriers
will be those that can leverage the latest developments in the
lab into providing better service to the end-user."
