Intel Delays Digital TV Chip, Waiting for 2nd Generation

"...Texas Instruments currently owns the market for 1-megapixel digital televisions with its DLP (digital light processing) technology, Doherty says. Several vendors have high-definition rear-projection televisions in the market with TI's technology, and Intel and its television customers would have a tough time making any headway in an established market, he says. Instead, Intel has a better chance of getting traction by releasing a low-cost 2-megapixel (1920 x 1080p) version of Cayley before TI launches a similar product, Doherty says. Intel is working on a 2-megapixel chip that can slide right into the 1-megapixel televisions that Intel's television customers have already designed and qualified, while TI's 2-megapixel DLP technology is expected to use a more complicated design, he says."
Intel is certainly gunning hard to break into markets beyond the x86 CPU, and now they want into your TV. I've still got my eye on a DLP TV (just waiting for the new version to come out in Canada), but 1920 x 1080p sure sounds tempting! That's more resolution than my Dell monitors can muster. 8O
