Broadcom seeks an edge in next-generation home networking (VentureBeat)
Chip giant Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM) is putting a stake in the ground on next-generation home networking by launching four new chips today. Most consumers may never need these chips, but if you ever upgrade to a UltraHD television, also known as 4K TV, you’ll wish you had them. That’s because UltraHD TVs can put four times as much data on a screen compared to today’s 1080p high-definition TVs. And if you plan on sharing that video on other TVs around the home, you’re going to need much faster video transfer than today’s networks can handle.

Broadcom’s Bringing UHD to Your Cable Box (Gizmodo)
Ultra-high definition TV is coming—sooner than you think. The industry is certainly already on board, what with the recent release of the HDMI 2.0 standard and a steadily growing stable relatively inexpensive of 4K-capable TVs. But actually getting 4K content from anything other than a local media drive is still a problem. Or it was until this morning with Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM)’s unveiling of its new HEVC chipsets.
