This announcement is huge with regard to IPSL technology time to market concerns. eSilicon's expertise in ASIC design, specifically CupriaTM, will greatly reduce IPSL member implementation of Rim Semi's product lines. Needless to say, this is another validation from a leading vendor.
You would think that the first question asked would be: How many members are there in the IPSL SIG that have no relationship to RIM? I say zero. The IPSL SIG is nothing more than a shell that RSMI will use as PR fodder.
