"MediaTek is widely recognized as one of the leading wireless semiconductor companies worldwide and we are pleased by their decision to adopt our CEVA-X DSP core and subsystem technologies," said Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA.
CEVA-X is a scalable VLIW-SIMD DSP architecture delivering high levels of performance at low power consumption. CEVA-X is uniquely designed as a multipurpose architecture, allowing multiple derivative cores with the optimal performance/price/power point requirements to multiple markets such as 3G and 4G phones, Smartphones, Personal Media Players and infrastructure equipment. CEVA-X combines extendibility -- the architecture can be extended with user-defined instruction sets -- with scalability, supporting between 2 to 16 MAC units as well as additional computational resources and memory bandwidth. CEVA-X enables licensees to efficiently develop software using high-level languages such as C and C++, which reduces the cost of development.
