Jestli je to ten uzasny supercip, ktery hodla AInc. pouzit u nextgen Amig,
tak dalsi info najdete na http://www.microunity.com/www/ Je to velmi
zajimave cteni. Jestli ta mrska zvladne 400mil. pixelu za sekundu (pro
porovnani Voodoo2 umi 90mil.), je na co se tesit. Jen doufam, ze AInc
nezustane jen u prazdneho mlaceni slamy ala Phase5 a ABOX. Ten nas kdysi
taky hodne nadzvedl ze zidli, ze ano!

(P.S.: Nedivte se tem datum, vyvoj pry zacal v roce 1988)

OEM Magazine, September 1996 :
"Mediaprocessors promise to provide the most highly integrated solution for
multimedia acceleration ... Because mediaprocessors are better tuned to the
PC environment, they will be more sucessful in PCs than DSPs have been."

Multichannel News, BROADBAND WEEK, October 16, 1995 :
`If this works, it's the end game', noted Steve Craddock, vice president of
new media development for Comcast Corp., who has seen the MicroUnity
platform."

The Wall Street Journal, October 10, 1995 :
"`We are talking significant horsepower compared to what is on a Pentium,'
says Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts Co., a market research firm
in Tempe, Ariz. Though Intel is likely to use similar techniques on its
chips eventually, media processors have a two- to three-year head start,' he
says. `It's a tremendous break for these new entrants.'"

The Wall Street Journal, September 20, 1994:
"It's risky technology, so who knows what's going to happen . . . Moussouris
is a very, very smart person." -- William Gates, Microsoft's chief executive
officer.
