1600 MIPS DSP 'C6201 unleashes highest level of DSP price/performance 'C6x development tools emphasize software techniques New VelociTI architecture key for parallel performance Industry perspectives on the 'C6x 1997 TMS320C6x technical training

Industry perspectives on the 'C6x "The possibility of multi-channel, multi-function systems is one of the major advantages of DSP, but this feature has not been exploited up to now because of limited hardware performance. It looks like TI is breaking this performance barrier. The chip itself is a big step forward, but the ease of use will make it functional to the user." Ronald W. Schafer, Institute Professor The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology "TI once again demonstrates its DSP leadership by being first to market with the highest performance DSP ever. My mind boggles at all of the applications that will become practical with the unprecedented 1600-MIPS performance of the ’C6x. For starters, the new DSP will meet a huge market demand for exploding datacom and telecom applications at a price that will seal the deal on many designs. It’s also impressive that TI is delivering both the silicon and the support today." Will Strauss, President Forward Concepts "The new TI processor and architecture have dramatically changed the landscape in digital signal processing power, permitting new vistas of applications in storage (magnetic and optical), wireless LANs, and digital subscriber lines, particularly ADSL to be considered with off-the-shelf DSP components."
