Phoenix core fastest next year, a single volume of production price of less than $10

December 1st, deputy general manager of the Ningbo branch of the integrated circuit design center of Huang Chao at the Sina, said here the domestic audio video coding standard (AVS) chip lifview further Plan No. 2.

Huang Chao said in lifview show No. 2 Conference on engineering samples for 0.18 micron process, the production will be carried out in the first quarter of next year or the two quarter lifview mass production of the No. 2 single price control in less than $10.
