NVidia Corporation unveiled the GoForce 5500, handheld
graphics processing unit (GPU). It enables fluid digital TV, high-fidelity
surround sound, rapid multi-shot photography, and console-class 3D graphics. For
many years, these capabilities have been the domain of function-specific devices
such as the home entertainment system, the digital still camera, or the Sony
Playstation.
“High-quality multimedia services are a key revenue
growth driver for the world's carriers and content providers and we believe
we'll see significant uptake of these services in 2006,” said Mario Morales,
Semiconductor Analyst for IDC.
