The BCM2033 is a single chip that runs on Bluetooth technology, which allows wireless devices such as handheld computers, mobile phones and even laptops to communicate with each other within a distance of about 30 feet.

The chipmaker will brief analysts on its second-quarter outlook after the market closes Thursday. While the meeting is not expected to be revelatory, as Goldman Sachs analyst Terry Ragsdale put it, "We don't see how the news can be good."

The X architecture changes the way a chip's interconnects--metal wires that connect transistors and carry signals--are routed. X architecture allows the interconnects to be routed diagonally across the chip in any of eight directions, instead of following the traditional right-angle-grid routing method used in all but a few of today's chips.
