| Case Study—BDTI Benchmarks Help Vendors Win New Customers |
By BDTI, 12/19/2007
Smaller fabless chip vendors face an uphill battle: to beat out larger rivals, they must attract the attention of potential customers, prove the advantages of their products, and demonstrate that they will be reliable, long-term partners. One such company recently used BDTI Benchmarks to accomplish all three of these objectives.

| Case Study - Optimizing Presentations, Products, and Plans |
By BDTI, 11/14/2007
The best way to ensure that a presentation is effective is to test it with a knowledgeable, critical, and responsive audience. A test audience can also help ensure that the content is correct, relevant, and appropriate for the intended audience. Just as important, a test audience can help presenters gauge the clarity, appeal, and impact of their pitch. After all, superb technical content serves no purpose if the audience loses interest a few minutes into the presentation.

| Case Study: How Can You Prove You’ve Got the Best Multimedia Solution? |
By BDTI, 10/17/2007
As multimedia systems grow in complexity, system and SoC developers are increasingly relying on vendors to provide “solutions”—combinations of hardware and software that implement complete multimedia functions such as audio and video compression and decompression. Vendors have responded by offering a growing number of such solutions.

| Case Study: Custom Benchmark Analysis—Making the Numbers Work For You |
By BDTI, 7/18/2007
Processor designers, marketers, and users with a sophisticated understanding of benchmarks know that raw benchmark results rarely give the most accurate picture of processor performance for a specific application scenario. While useful for providing a general impression of processor capabilities, raw benchmark results must be adapted to give a clear sense of how processors will perform in a particular application.

| Case Study: Early Benchmarking Yields Better Products |
By BDTI, 6/20/2007
Chip and IP vendors typically utilize benchmarks for marketing purposes—specifically, to demonstrate the capabilities of their products to prospective customers. But such vendors are missing half the picture: during the design of a processor, subsystem, or chip, good benchmarks are invaluable for ensuring that the design is as good as it can be.

| Case Study: Increasing the Visibility of Your Products |
By BDTI, 3/14/2007
However compelling a new product may be, it won’t succeed unless prospective customers know about it. Achieving customer awareness can be particularly challenging for small companies that lack multi-million-dollar marketing budgets, but it can also pose a challenge for established companies entering new markets.

| Case Study: Cool Algorithm, But Will It Fit in My Product? |
By BDTI, 2/14/2007
Algorithms are the essence of digital signal processing; they are the mathematical “recipes” that transform signals in useful ways. Companies developing new DSP algorithms, or considering purchasing or licensing algorithms, often need to assess whether the algorithm will fit within their processing budget—and thereby within their cost and power consumption targets.
