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.

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.
