this is a true disruption for the industry. it changes everything...multi-mode requires that the world move in this direction. highly optimized for baseband, multi-core, multi-threaded reprogrammable dsp with high level "c" compiler is wicked and could be a giant killer. sandbridge may or may not succeed, but the trend is inevitable. predict google + this technology embedded in next-gen smartphones will completely alter the mobile landscape.

Dean,

This is like a FPGA play on the handset side, the moment LTE is solidified, this SW based SDR thingy is gone!! Also Samsung has money into these guys, so they will try it out until their handset hits volume. Sandbridge has good tech etc... but not sure about there market, Handset baseband market is crowded with gaints such as Qualcomm, BRCM, Infineon ST Micro and others... Also there is nothing holygrail about this, this sort of stuff is being done on basestation side using FPGA's, Multicores for years now. Tallwood needs to go retire!
