"The 300-million milestone is just the tip of the iceberg," stated Larry
Przywara, Tensilica's senior director of multimedia marketing. "By 2014
we expect to ship approximately one billion HiFi cores a year. The need
to support a wide range of software packages, and the large costs
associated with the support and maintenance, has resulted in many
companies deciding to use our standard audio/voice DSPs. Plus, we've
automated the process of customizing all of our IP cores so companies
can add essential features to differentiate their cores if required."
