Yes cost is a very large factor in embedded system but if you can provide a _reasonable_ priced part, with fast boot speed, good ease of use, and totally documented with lots of example code I think you will have a very marketable product. Even though its not the cheapest.
In our estimate from about 1.5 years ago, we determined that our bare ASIC would sell at a very competitive price, especially considering that it supports normal OpenGL (rather than the embedded fixed-point variety) for the same or better price. In low volumes, bare graphics ASICs tend to cost more than graphics cards of the same volume. That's part of the economics of that market (in part due to support costs for integration), which is why we feel that's a more sustainable market. People buying OGC1 will simply benefit from the economy of scale resulting from embedded sales. That's the idea anyhow. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
