In his earnings previews, McWilliams wrote: "The fact is there was no good reason earlier this year for the price of Skyworks to fall so significantly in sympathy with Anadigics, which was suffering from company-specific problems..."

    McWilliams also looks at these topics:

    -- What does McWilliams think Wall Street is missing in the SanDisk story?

-- We all know that Skyworks has a design in the iPhone. What other hot new phone design has McWilliams learned we'll hear about Skyworks winning?

-- Last week, McWilliams debunked rumors that Broadcom was about to take PMC-Sierra out in the GPON space. This week he picked up some valuable news about PMC-Sierra's largest GPON customer. What was the news and how might it affect PMC-Sierra's Q3 guidance?

-- McWilliams encouraged readers to buy Anadigics when it dipped into the $7s on Monday. What's McWilliams' fair value target for Anadigics?

"Broadcom is the leading provider of Wi-Fi chipsets, and we are pleased it has chosen the 74K core for its three new 802.11n router solutions that reduce costs without sacrificing performance," said Brad Holtzinger, vice president of worldwide sales at MIPS Technologies. "Broadcom was first to license the 74K core as an early access customer, and we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with them as they create more exciting products that require the superior, next-generation performance our processor cores deliver."

MIPS32 74K cores are the industry's first fully synthesizable 32-bit processors to achieve operating frequencies greater than 1 GHz in TSMC 65nm process technology. The 74K core family is designed to work with generic standard cells, memories and EDA design flows without the need for premium physical IP or costly structured logic and custom design flows. Using an advanced microarchitecture designed for the embedded market, the 74K core family is optimized to deliver exceptional performance levels as well as area- and power-efficiencies required for today's complex SoC designs.

The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors' positions in specific markets.

Vendors are assessed by ABI Research on the important parameters of "innovation" and "implementation" across several criteria unique to each vendor matrix.

Principal analyst Dominique Bonte comments, "Following the acquisition of fabless GPS-specific manufacturer Global Locate last year, Broadcom became the first GPS chipset vendor with a hosted A-GPS solution and a Wide Area Reference Network for the provision of GPS assistance data. Broadcom's experience in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM radio, and GPS technology puts the company in a good position to compete in the anticipated multiple-RF integrated GPS solutions market, with integrated Bluetooth/GPS chipsets expected to be available in 2009. Broadcom is also the supplier of the GPS-chipset in the new 3G iPhone."

Following the acquisition of GPS IC manufacturer u-Nav Microelectronics in December 2007, Atheros plans to develop integrated single-die RF solutions that will combine Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

In December 2007, NXP acquired fabless GPS chips manufacturer GloNav in order to enter the hardwired GPS solutions market, planning to target the 3G mobile phone segment, as well as PNDs.

For this particular matrix, under "innovation," ABI Research examined the products multiple RF integration, the firms' RF IC solutions, IC solutions, and Single-Chip Solutions; also evaluated were the products' Wireless Assistance Data Support (A-GPS) and their Satellite-Based Augmentation System Support (SBAS) (Support for EGNOS and WAAS).

Under "implementation," ABI Research scrutinized the following criteria: market share; consumer market focus; professional, industrial, and military market focus, whether the vendors are fabricators (as opposed to fabless) and their key customer wins.
