By 2005, STMicroelectronics was ranked fifth, behind Intel, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba, but ahead of Infineon, Renesas, NEC, NXP, and Freescale.

In August 1991, they won a suit against NEC and Toshiba claiming violation of Wang's patents on single in-line memory modules ( SIMMs ).

In addition to Sony and Sanyo, Beta-format video recorders were also sold by Toshiba, Pioneer, Murphy, Aiwa, and NEC ; the Zenith Electronics Corporation and WEGA Corporations contracted with Sony to produce VCRs for their product lines.

This proved to be a costly mistake for Toshiba ( and the format's co-developers, NEC and Microsoft ), and the AOD ( Advanced Optical Disc ) format, later renamed HD DVD, lost a brutal format war with Sony's Blu-ray Disc ( BD ) format.

* December – TSMC, NEC, Toshiba describe novel MRAM cells.

* February – Toshiba and NEC announced a 16 Mbit MRAM chip with a new " power-forking " design.

It is also home to various companies, including Honda, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, NEC, Sony, Fujitsu and Toshiba.

Freescale competes with Texas Instruments, Intel, Samsung Electronics, Microchip, NXP, MIPS, NEC, AMD, Analog Devices, AppliedMicro, Qualcomm, ST Microelectronics, Renesas, Atmel, Linear Technology, Infineon, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sharp, Epson, and a host of other similar silicon vendors.

Glen Waverley has also developed to become somewhat of a business hub in metropolitan Melbourne, with many international companies including Toshiba, Ansell, NEC, and 3M all having their Australian headquarters in the suburb.

The winners of the first Microsoft Cup were NEC Green Rockets, who beat Toshiba Brave Lupus 24-19 on February 22, 2004.

Other competitors include major domestic and international semiconductor companies, such as Agilent, Freescale, Intel, IBM, Infineon, Motorola, NEC, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba.

Subsequent projects were designed for companies such as Toshiba and IDT ( R4700 ), IDT & NKK ( R4650 ), SGI and NEC ( R5000 ).

The design was owned by SGI, which licensed the design to IDT and NEC and eventually to Toshiba.

Many electronic manufacturing companies engage in business that would qualify them as an IDM: including but not limited to Cypress Semiconductor, Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM, Intersil, Intel, LSI Corporation, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Freescale, NEC, Philips, NXP, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Renesas, Sony, National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated Products and Toshiba.

The MIPS design team that designed the R4300i started the company SandCraft, which designed the R5432 for NEC and later produced the SR71000, one of the first out-of-order execution processors for the embedded market.

* 1987 – In Japan, NEC releases the first 16-bit ( fourth generation ) video game console, the PC Engine, which was later sold in other markets under the name TurboGrafx-16.

NEC later acquired 100 % ownership and the business was renamed NEC Unified Solutions.

Since the mid 1990s, several competitors ( e. g., Siemens AG ( later Infineon Technologies AG, now Intel mobile communications ), NEC, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics ( formerly SGS-Thomson ), Motorola ( later Freescale ), Intersil, etc.

Nellist was deselected by the Labour Party NEC and his constituency was later abolished.

Originally developed for the Apple Macintosh, it was later adapted by Brøderbund for the Amiga, Atari ST, Apple II ( leaked version ), Amstrad CPC, Family Computer, Sharp X68000, NEC PC-9801 and DOS operating systems.

Also that year, NEC licensed technology from Hudson Soft, a video game manufacturer, to create a video game console called the PC-Engine ( later released in 1989 as the TurboGrafx-16 in the North American market ).

The game was later ported to the NES ( developed by Micronics ), MSX, NEC PC-8801, Windows Mobile Professional, and Game Boy Color.

The original version ( released in 1997 ) was for Windows 95 and was later released for Sega Saturn ( 1998 by NEC Interchannel ), Windows 2000 ( 2001 by F & C FC02 ; this version also runs on Windows 95, 98, 98SE and Me ) and the Dreamcast ( 2003 by NEC Interchannel ).

A year later, in 1985, NEC announced the first ITRON implementation based on the ITRON / 86 specification.

His debut as a professional gaming composer came in 1988, when he and his friend Masaharu Iwata, whom he has worked with on numerous later titles, scored the shooter game Revolter, published by ASCGroup for the NEC PC-8801.

The technology was created by Micron and Cypress, later followed by IDT, then NEC, Samsung and Renesas.

A year later, he moving to the managerial position at NEC Nijmegen.

Sponsorship would later enable this number to expand dramatically, first by the Colgate Group in 1976, and, from 1981 to 1994 by the Japanese communications and computer giant NEC.

It was released for the NEC PC-8801 computer and later ported to MS-DOS by Brøderbund.

He was later presented with a wakizashi as a gift in recognition for his work at NEC.

It was later ported to the NEC TurboGrafx-16 in 1990.

The arcade game was later ported to the NEC TurboGrafx-16 in 1990.

Originally released in 1991 for the NEC PC-9801 and FM Towns home computers, it was later released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( SNES ) and TurboGrafx-16 ( PC Engine ).

In 1982, Japan's Koei, founded by husband-and-wife team Yoichi and Keiko Erikawa ( and later known for strategy video games ), released the first erotic computer game with sexually explicit graphics, Night Life, an early graphic adventure game for the NEC PC-8801.
