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的晶片是有點可惜,功能強大但卻沒有一個好的廠去幫忙推,
以前大概策略錯誤都一直找顯卡廠幫忙推,而這些顯卡廠才不會花心思在上面,
或許在今天Conexant晶片已經窮驢技窮,NXP 7164獨領風騷的時候,
Broadcom買下前ATi電視部門是件好事,至少先前規格好的晶片技術釋出,
再讓一些專門做電視卡產品的公司去好好發展,這樣也才有板凳可以搬來做.
