Letter to the editor: DSPs for IP (Shaul Berger)
(08/13/2007 2:43 PM EDT) -- EE Times
I received a plethora of e-mails regarding my recent article, entitled "Semi IP sector is a lost cause"
Then, I asked for the IP vendors themselves to respond to a set of questions. Here's one letter to the editor:
Editor,
We met in the past and I am (at least I claim to be objective) on this topic, being there and have done it several times. I think you are right on the money and it is not pleasant for companies trying to make money selling IP, to face the reality. The reality is that even many of the top 10 vendors hardly make money and by financial standards (EPS) they are not investor quality grade. I am not expert on the whole IP space but I know very well the DSP IP domain.
