| TI Introduces 8-Channel Audio Processor for Multi-Channel Audio |
By BDTI, 7/19/2006
 On June 26th Texas Instruments announced the TAS3108, a new 8-channel audio processor targeting high fidelity home and car audio. The TAS3108 contains a relatively simple fixed-point DSP core running at 135 MHz, coupled with an 8051 microprocessor that handles I/O and control operations. The DSP core, with one 28x48-bit multiplier, a 76-bit accumulator, and dither generator, is highly specialized for algorithmically simple filtering tasks such as FIR and IIR filters, mixing, equalization, and dynamic range compression.

| Measuring Multimedia Performance |
By BDTI, 4/11/2005
At first glance, measuring processor performance on multimedia
applications can seem straightforward. Many multimedia applications are
based on published standards and widely available software. Hence,
measuring multimedia performance may seem to be a simple matter of
checking published performance data. In reality, however, reliable
measures of processors’ multimedia performance are hard to obtain.
