Freescale's MXC 3G Processor Receives Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award; 65 Nanometer Samples of MXC EDGE Processor Extends Freescale's Wireless Leadership.AUSTIN, Texas -- Second paragraph, second sentence of release should read: This MXC MXC Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (TV show) MXC Malcolm X College MXC Microwave Cross Connect MXC Media Center Extender processor utilizes a StarCore(R) DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive for single core modem functionality up to 156 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and an ARM11(R) core for applications processing with speeds of up to 532MHz (sted This MXC processor utilizes a StarCore(R) DSP for single core modem functionality up to 156 MHz and an ARM1(R) core for applications processing with speeds of up to 532MHz). The corrected release reads: FREESCALE'S MXC 3G PROCESSOR RECEIVES MICROPROCESSOR REPORT ANALYSTS' CHOICE AWARD; 65 NANOMETER SAMPLES OF MXC EDGE PROCESSOR EXTENDS FREESCALE'S WIRELESS LEADERSHIP The Freescale Semiconductor Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is an American semiconductor manufacturer. It was created by the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola in 2004. Freescale focuses their integrated circuit products on the automotive, embedded and communications markets.

[Sammet 1969, p. 641]. ) (NYSE:FSL.B) MXC91321 3G processor was awarded the Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award for Best Applications Processor for 2005. The MXC91321 processor is the first to integrate a 3G single core modem with applications processor functionality. The chip is the heart of the MXC300-30 platform, which provides a comprehensive UMTS/HSDPA solution including integrated baseband and applications processor, RF transceiver, power amplifier Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. and power management IC. In conjunction with the award, Freescale disclosed that it is beginning to sample its 65 nanometer (nm) version of the MXC EDGE processor. This MXC processor utilizes a StarCore(R) DSP for single core modem functionality up to 156 MHz and an ARM11(R) core for applications processing with speeds of up to 532MHz. Additionally, this 65nm product reduces power consumption by more than 40 percent compared to previous offerings, making it the most advanced processor in the industry for power and speed combined. "Freescale is honored to receive one of the industry's highest recognitions from Microprocessor Report for the MXC 3G processor, which was a collaborative development effort between Motorola and Freescale," said Franz Fink fink Slang n. 1.

"With 65nm samples of our MXC EDGE processor, we are extending our lead in delivering comprehensive solutions that remove barriers and reduce the risk for handset manufacturers." Now in its seventh year, the Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Awards are judged by In-Stat's technology analysts, the team behind the internationally recognized newsletter "Microprocessor Report" and the annual Spring and Fall Processor Forums. There are seven award categories this year, representing the most interesting and dynamic product areas in the microprocessor industry. To be selected as a nominee in any category, the product must have been released in 2005, considered newsworthy news·wor·thy adj. news·wor·thi·er, news·wor·thi·est Of sufficient interest or importance to the public to warrant reporting in the media. news and represent significant technical innovation. "We unanimously voted to award Freescale's MXC91321 the Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award for Best Applications Processor for 2005," said Max Baron, senior editor for Microprocessor Report and principal analyst with market research firm In-Stat. "Aimed at wireless handheld applications, the MXC91321 boasts an impressive roster of major architectural achievements including the integration of baseband, control, and applications on one chip employing fewer cores with resulting smaller die size and price. Freescale continues to enhance the MXC family for 3G wireless handsets, and we look forward to reviewing its processor innovations in the future." Freescale MXC solutions The revolutionary MXC300-30 platform is part of the Mobile eXtreme Convergence family of platforms from Freescale. The single core modem processor at the heart of the MXC platforms combines, yet de-correlates, the DSP call processing In telecommunication, the term call processing has the following meanings:
