Mali200: A New Graphics Core From Falanx

Falanx Microsystems is a Norwegian company that was born of a bunch of University minds and a 3D graphics project four years ago. As 3dfx and Matrox were making painfully obvious, there was getting to be less room for 3D graphics competitors. At this time Falanx, with the support of their government, focused on markets that are not always on the radar for most of us.

Falanx was incorporated in April 2001 and is a privately held corporation developing and marketing IP Graphics Cores for the mobile market for use in mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, handheld gaming devices and infotainment systems. Falanx is licensing its family of IP Cores directly to equipment vendors and System-on-a-Chip (SoC) vendors.
