Intel unveils fast DSP chip for wireless
Intel Corp. on Tuesday demonstrated for the first time a fast digital signal processor (DSP) chip designed jointly with Analog Devices Inc that will play a key role in its strategy for wireless devices.
"The MSA (micro signal architecture) silicon is capable of operating at speeds of up to 400MHz, more than twice as fast as other DSPs for wireless handheld devices," Intel said in a statement.
The new DSP design, along with XScale processors for handsets--due for launch by the end of the year--and its flash memory products, comprise the architecture Intel plans for advanced wireless devices such as third generation, or 3G, mobile phones offering high-speed Internet connections and data transmission.
