I believe the Ice Edge still uses multiple chips for control and driving while the Drivecore integrates it all into one, both seem to have had the goal or reducing component count on the board through.
To my understanding TI's role in the Drivecore chips was primarily in the manufacturing stage. Harman designed the technology but didn't have the experience in manufacturing ICs so they turned to TI to handle that part.
