Broadcom to buy AMD's digital TV business
Posted by Margaret Kane 3 comments
Broadcom is paying $192.8 million in cash to acquire Advanced Micro Devices' digital television business, the companies said Monday.
AMD's DTV assets include Xilleon integrated DTV processors and reference designs, NXT receiver ICs, the Theater 300 DTV processor, and a line of panel processors that perform advanced motion compensation, frame rate conversion and scaling.
AMD had announced last month that it was quitting the DTV market, as part of an effort to streamline its businesses. CEO Dirk Meyer said in a press release that the sale was a "key step" toward helping the company boost its financial performance.
Roughly 530 AMD employees working for the DTV business will be "invited to join Broadcom" as part of the sale, which has been approved by both companies' boards of directors.
ATi的晶片是有点可惜,功能强大但却没有一个好的厂去帮忙推,
以前大概策略错误都一直找显卡厂帮忙推,而这些显卡厂才不会花心思在上面,
或许在今天Conexant晶片已经穷驴技穷,NXP 7164独领风骚的时候,
Broadcom买下前ATi电视部门是件好事,至少先前规格好的晶片技术释出,
再让一些专门做电视卡产品的公司去好好发展,这样也才有板凳可以搬来做.
