MIPS Technologies and SiS Continue to Drive Android(TM) Into the Digital Home
May 31 2011 - 9:00AM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
home, networking and mobile applications, and Taiwan's Silicon
Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS) announced their latest milestones in
driving the Android™ platform into the digital home. The companies
collaborated to deliver an optimized Android solution on SiS' new
MIPS-Based™ integrated internet TV platform, which is available
now. SiS has also licensed the new superscalar multiprocessing
MIPS32® 1074Kf™ Coherent Processing System (CPS) for next
generation designs.
"Android is fundamentally changing the embedded world, enabling
the industry to move beyond fragmented, proprietary operating
systems that use a number of different kernels, to a single
framework for application development. SiS and MIPS share a vision
of how the power of Android will transform the consumer
entertainment experience in the digital home. We are excited to
work with SiS and other members of the Android on MIPS ecosystem to
help make this vision a reality," said Art Swift, vice president of
marketing and business development, MIPS Technologies.
"We have collaborated closely with MIPS to deliver an ideal user
experience through Android in our MIPS-Based internet TV solutions.
With our highly competitive products, we are helping to expand the
internet TV market segment beyond the high-end into the mainstream.
With our next-generation chip based on the 1074K CPS, targeting
1GHz frequency, our goal is to enable more consumers to enjoy cloud
entertainment in the digital era," said Michael Chen, president of
SiS.
The new highly-integrated internet TV platform from SiS
leverages dual core high-performance MIPS processors, and offers
customized widgets and support for popular services including
YouTube, Facebook, eBay, Flickr, weather and finance, as well as
online film rental. It supports high-end graphics and enhanced
video processing as well as Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 for Flash and
video streaming on TV. It also supports video on demand recording
and Skype for internet communications. It is designed for seamless
interoperability with other Android devices such as tablets and
smartphones, which can be used for remote control and video
sharing. The new internet TV platform is available now through
SiS.
With its license of the MIPS32 1074K™ CPS, SiS will be able to
leverage a new level of performance for its next-generation
designs. The 1074K CPS was designed to bring multicore performance
to the next generation of internet-connected multimedia products
such as digital televisions, Blu-ray players and set-top boxes
(STBs), as well as home/wireless networking products and tablet
computers leveraging the popular Android operating system.
