MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan 11, 2001 (BUSINESS:MIPS) (Nasdaq:MIPSB), a leading provider of industry standard
processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and network applications, today announced a licensing
agreement with TeraLogic Inc., a leading developer of integrated circuits, platforms and software for digital television
(DTV).
Under the terms of the agreement, TeraLogic will integrate a MIPS-based(TM) core into future generations of DTV
integrated circuits.
The DTV market is booming from rapid consumer adoption due, in part, to reduced unit costs and improved
performance. TeraLogic`s incorporation of the MIPS Technologies core will further enhance its leadership position with
open architecture digital consumer appliances. The company recently announced MIPS-based chipsets and
development platforms for customers who want to design and deliver sophisticated home entertainment and
information products more quickly at lower costs.
"TeraLogic recognizes MIPS Technologies as an industry leader for digital entertainment processor cores and we have
software and platforms based on the MIPS Technologies architecture," said Jon Zierk, vice president of sales and
marketing for TeraLogic. "This agreement will further strengthen our position as a key supplier of ICs, software and
platforms for DTV."
"Having a digital consumer leader such as TeraLogic incorporate our flexible, high-performance processor core into its
DTV platform further emphasizes our position as a primary provider of powerful microprocessor technologies to the
digital market," said Muhammad Helal, vice president of North American business development and sales for MIPS
Technologies. "This agreement demonstrates the leadership role MIPS Technologies has built by providing viable
solutions that enhance the digital consumer experience."
MIPS Technologies processor cores already power leading game systems such as PlayStation2, Nintendo 64,
leading set-top boxes from Motorola (formerly General Instruments), Sony, Philips and WebTV, and emerging
consumer devices such as ReplayTV.

Wie nun jeder weiss war ich vor einem Jahr bei Onkel Henry.
Er sagte mir persönlich, dass der DIGITAL FERNSEH (TV)BEREICH sein persönlich besonderes Augenmerk (Interesse) verdient.
INTERNET wird sich in Zukunft nicht mehr im BÜRO sondern im Wohnzimmer abspielen am FERNSEHER mit allen Spielen und logischerweise mit 3D SOUND.

Sorry aber diese NEWS ist eine REVOLUTION
