Creative pripravuje nový čip - Zii @ PC.sk
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/crea ... computing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;According to information gleaned from an email that's making the rounds, Zii is "revolutionary" -- in fact, it's about to change everything you know. Everything. The company says they've invested over 10 years, over one billion dollars, and 10,000 man-years (that's a lot of men! and years!) on "stem cell-like silicon that is able to grow and multiply into different solutions and ecosystems," which will "better lives beyond our imagination." Has your mind been blown yet? No? Just wait until you "discover incredible recession-friendly business opportunities that enable you to thrive and prosper." Just what we need in the midst of these turbulent times. Of course this begs us to ask the question: if life as we know it is over, couldn't they have spent a little time coming up with a name other than Zii? And might there be a better place to announce this epoch-making discovery than booth #30651 at CES?

predsa niečo od 3DLabsRemember back in 2002 when Creative bought over 3DLabs, the intention is to get hold of their next generation graphics architecture that said to be highly scalable and programmable. Everything seems quiet only till the recent years, we saw the first chip from 3DLabs, the DMS-02 application processor which is ARM based and fully programmable too. Today, Creative is going to announce the formation of Zii Labs made of up the guys from 3DLabs and Creative Labs Personal Digital Entertainment group and their first chip, the ZMS-05 SoC.
Each ZMS-05 SoC has dual ARM 926 cores with 48 programmable processor elements (PE) churning out 10GFlops of processing power. The chip is able to re-program itself real-time to suit the application needs so you can expect there is a software stack on top of it controlling the PEs. Zii chip has the ability to shut down unused PEs and wake them up when there is a need for it, thus saving power. For eg, more PEs will be activated when playing 3D games or playing back HD videos.
