Tuesday, February 4, 1997Mercury NewsTexas Instruments introduces new chipTexas Instruments Inc. said it introduced a new higher speed version of its digital signal processor chip for use with US Robotics Corp.'s soon-to-be released 56-kilobit modem technology. Texas Instruments said the chip can process 1.6 billion instructions per second. It said a file that takes 10 minutes to transmit using standard delivery methods via the Internet would take less than five seconds. In late afternoon trading, shares of TI were down 1-3/4 at 76-5/8.
CNET TI chip may break Net bottleneckBy Brooke Crothers February 3, 1997, 1 p.m. PTTexas Instruments (TXN) has a new chip that it says will speed access and help reduce data bottlenecks on the Internet. The new TI chip is a DSP (digital signal processor), which is a more specialized chip than the general-purpose CPUs found in most PCs today. While CPUs can handle a broad range of tasks, DSPs are designed to boost the performance of specific tasks such as communications or audio processing.
