Alphamosaic chip contract could mean… speculation!

 

Alphamosaic, a team of British chip designers recently acquired by US-based Broadcom, just landed Apple as a client
- leading to speculation about what Apple might actually use the chip makers VC02, "the world's most advanced mobile multimedia processor" for.

The chip is said to consume very little battery power, while excelling "in high-quality 3D graphics performance with the capability to support pixel shading and volumetric lighting with low power consumption, making it ideal for use in mobile gaming applications and comparable in performance to home consoles."

Predictions include the usual suspects: an iPhone,
a vidPod, a
gPod, a
PodCam, or a .

Since the chip just happens to be compatible with Broadcom's cell phone chips, an iPhone integration of some sort isn't that far-fetched, I suppose, but this kind of speculation really bores me. When they build it, I will come. Until then... discuss amongst yourselves.
