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."</i><br /><br />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
