Japan's MegaChips which create customized LSIs has signed up with MIPS to acquire shedloads of its MIPS32 4KEc processor cores.

The chips will be employing for next-generation digital customer products for example digital photography, HDTV, portable media, HD security monitors as well as gaming. A spokesperson alleged that the monetary downturn hasn't muffled customer demand for devices that merge sophisticated features with advanced performance, but low cost.

The high performance as well as power-efficiency of MIPS Technologies' 4KE core, permit the unit to convey best-of-breed designs that surpass consumer expectations as well as convince their bottom-line necessities, he inspired. MegaChips are one of the superior Japan's fabless semiconductor companies.

The configurable MIPS32 4KE family possesses superior capabilities with features for example code compression, several sets of 32-bit registers, bigger write-back cache memories with wide clock gating. Reviews declare that 4KE cores give designers elasticity to optimize their applications by rising performance while reducing die size as well as power utilization with, eventually, system costs.
