Adrian Thompson, VP of Marketing at SAPPHIRE – the world’s largest manufacturer of add-in cards based on AMD (NYSE: AMD)’s graphics chips -commented: “SAPPHIRE’s extensive range of graphics cards enhances the user experience in everything from high performance gaming to mainstream entertainment. Extending this range to support broadcast HDTV is a natural progression, and Mirics’ FlexiTV software-based global TV receiver and FlexiStream provide the perfect method of achieving this goal.”
