Intel Corporation today unveiled two high-performance, programmable digital media microprocessors that have been optimized for the document imaging market segment. The new digital media processors were developed in cooperation with Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX). Intel is now sampling the new processors to document processing manufacturers worldwide.
The Intel® MXP5800 and Intel® MXP5400 digital media processors are designed to perform complex tasks required in mid-range and high-end digital imaging products such as digital copiers, scanners, printers and multifunction devices. The processors combine the high performance of custom-made application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) with the programmability of a microprocessor. The new processors will allow document imaging manufacturers to significantly reduce their development costs and design cycles, and deliver products with ASIC-like performance that are based on programmable silicon building blocks.
