Ambric Am2045 GT Video Reference Platform to Be Showcased in a Customer's Product and Adobe's Theater at Macworld 2008.Ambric([R]), Inc.: [TABLE OMITTED] About Ambric, Inc. Ambric is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that is shipping the world's first teraOPS-class processor and tools that make massively parallel See MPP. software programming practical for complex, embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. and enable price-performance breakthroughs in video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. . The company's highly scalable, massively parallel processor arrays (MPPAs) deliver performance that is more than an order of magnitude A change in quantity or volume as measured by the decimal point. For example, from tens to hundreds is one order of magnitude. Tens to thousands is two orders of magnitude; tens to millions is three orders of magnitude, etc. greater than high-end DSPs, and four times the video throughput of the fastest quad-core CPUs with 15 times better energy efficiency. The price-performance also exceeds that of FPGAs on complex applications while enabling faster, easier development in software. Ambric products help companies accelerate time-to-market for their solutions while slashing their system development costs. Established in 2003 and headquartered in Beaverton, Ore., Ambric has received funding from ComVentures, OVP OVP Originalverpackt (German: original packaging) OVP Over Voltage Protection OVP Ostvorpommern (German number plate area code) OVP Originalverpackung (German) Venture Partners, Northwest Technology Ventures, investment banks, and private investors.
