History

NeoMagic Corporation was founded in 1993 in California.[1] Working alongside Mitsubishi Electric, NeoMagic introduced its first graphics processors in 1995;[2] these were notable for being the first chips to combine a graphics chip and video memory into one package.[3] As this was a more power-efficient method than previous graphics processors had used, most of the major laptop manufacturers of the time began to use NeoMagic graphics chips in their systems.[2] In 2000, NeoMagic left the laptop market completely,[4] and switched their focus to producing systems on a chip, or SOCs, for mobile phones and other handheld devices, like PDAs.[5] The firm's first handheld chips were unveiled in 2001, when NeoMagic introduced the MiMagic line.[6] The initial MiMagic chips were based on a 32-bit MIPS Technologies RISC processor core, and featured 4MB of embedded DRAM, as well as a 1024x768-capable graphics chip, and a AC'97-compatible sound processor.[6] In October 2012, NeoMagic acquired MercadoMagico.com.[1]
