And we're projecting we will ship 2 billion cores by the end of 2012. Tensilica’s licensees are currently shipping at a run rate exceeding 500 million Tensilica DPUs per year, and Tensilica projects its customers will hit the two billion cumulative shipment mark by the end of 2012 – a doubling in volume in just 18 months.
“Tensilica is at a point where the company could really take off,” stated Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts and leading DSP analyst. “It quickly jumped to a formidable position in baseband DSP IP cores for LTE and has the leading audio DSP core. And their customers really appreciate the ability to customize the cores for their exact applications.”
