CES 2009, LAS VEGAS, NV– January 8, 2008 – Tensilica, Inc. today announced that over 35 companies that either license Tensilica’s popular processor cores, or use merchant market semiconductor products that include Tensilica’s cores, will be displaying products at this week’s International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). These Tensilica-enabled products include some of the most advanced, innovative consumer devices, including Blu-ray Disc players, LCD TVs, cellular phones, WiFi- and W-USB-enabled notebook computers, inkjet and laser printers.
Over 135 companies worldwide have licensed Tensilica’s processor cores, including the industry’s most popular audio DSP – the HiFi Audio DSP - and the popular Xtensa customizable processor, which excels at managing challenging dataplane processing tasks. High volume consumer entertainment and consumer communications segments are driving the industry-wide proliferation of Tensilica’s processor cores, making Tensilica’s architecture the fastest growing standard architecture in the semiconductor industry. Tensilica’s processor cores are particularly attractive to SOC (system on chip) design teams because they use less power, provide more performance and cost less than other processor cores.
The list of exhibitors at CES that either license Tensilica’s processor cores, or use Tensilica-powered silicon products includes: AMD, Atheros Communications, Belkin, Broadcom, Calibre Technology, Cisco, Cypress Semiconductor, Dell, Denon, D-Link Systems, DS2, Epson, Fujitsu, HP, iBiquity Digital, Intel, JVC, Kodac, Lenovo, LG Electronics, Marvell, Mediaphy, Mitsubishi, Motorola, NEC Electronics, NTT Electronics, NVIDIA, Olevia, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Validity Sensors, XM Radio and Yamaha.
Some of the most innovative solutions on display that include Tensilica processors include:
