Honest question, can something like this kill the market for embedded DSP processors made by Texas Instruments or Analog Devices?
- Cerium 6y agoI'm seeing lots of Analog Devices DSPs replaced by Tegras and Zync MPSoCs.
- augustt 6y agoI mean, this is absurdly more powerful than those dedicated DSPs.
- WJW 6y agoIt's also easily 10x the price. It really matters what the application is and how much processing power you need.
- qppo 6y agoNo, those face more threat from ARM M4/7 cores or RISC-V units with vector/SIMD coprocessors. DSP cores are being lifted out of discrete chips and placed as IP blocks into more integrated solutions, with the really complex algo stuff placed in general purpose hardware like FPGAs. The economics don't really make sense for TI/ADI DSPs imo. If you had an application where you needed a chip just to do DSP you'd probably use an ARM core instead - but the applications engineers at TI/ADI will gladly help you find a product in their catalog that has more features integrated into it (like ADC/DAC, even analog front ends for audio/RF, USB/Bluetooth stacks) for your product. Basically there's no market to kill, from what I've seen.
