From the Graveyard
You just read about Apple. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
P.A. Semi built High-performance, energy-efficient Power Architecture processors and system-on-chip designs. What became of it?
P.A. Semi brought High-performance, energy-efficient Power Architecture processors and system-on-chip designs to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Apple for US$278M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Apple today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
CDMA / EV-DO (cdma2000) served 1995–2022. What ultimately replaced it?
CDMA / EV-DO (cdma2000) every call was spread across a wide band by a unique pseudo-random code; receivers correlated against that code to extract their signal while all users shared the same spectrum at once. Its job passed to LTE — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
