Vraag 1. What was Intel’s strategy in DRAM and why did intel decline in the DRAM market? Intel was in de eerste jaren gefocussed op het produceren van circuit memory devices. De case geeft geen expliciete strategie. Wel wordt er geconstateerd dat er sprake is van een omvangrijke markt. De strategie van Intel lijkt vooral innovatie gedreven. Zij zijn de eerste die een 1K DRAM chip kunnen fabriceren doordat zij experimenteerde met drie alternatieve fabricatietechnologien. Ook de latere ontwikkeling

18, 2014 Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw Pentium purpose and functions was that it was a microprocessor in the CPU and the chip included a floating point unit FPU also known as a math coprocessor. Unlike the old Intel CPUs that did arithmetic using integers, this was a program that used floating point number. The Pentium chips have the instructions built into the chip which was in the FPUs. It made the Pentium must faster for intense numerical calculations. It’s was more complex and was more expensive

In 1971 Intel created the 4004, the first microprocessor. A microprocessor is a piece of integrated circuitry that contains all the functions of a computer's CPU. the Intel 4004 housed 2,300 transistors, in a chip that was only 2 inches large. Just a few decades prior it would've taken an entire room worth of equipment to do what the two inch 4004 could do. Intel was comissined to create a chip not only capable of running on computers but a variety of products as well. For example, the Intel 4004 was

release in 1993 but decided to keep quiet and fix the problem in updates to the chip. Mathematician Thomas Nicely of Lynchburg College in West Virginia also discovered the flaw. He didn’t want to recall the product. But when IBM announced it would not ship computers with the CPU, it forced a recall that cost Intel $475 million. This is how Intel fixed the problem. By the end of the century, Intel and compatible chips from companies like AMD were found in every PC except Apple Inc.’s Macintosh, which

flawed FPU, the result of the calculation was 4,195,579. Intel’s first response was that to deny that there was a problem with the chip. When it became clear that this assertion was not accurate, Intel switched its policy and stated that although there was indeed a defect in the chip, the defect was insignificant and most of the users would never even notice it. The chip would be replaced for free only for users who could demonstrate that they needed an unflawed version. Of course, this approach did

Semiconductor. The company began by exclusively designing and producing microprocessors and slowly building on their core competencies to foray into other computer hardware. In 1975, AMD introduced a reverse-engineered clone of the Intel 8080 microprocessor. Even then Intel chip architecture was considered the industry standard. AMD’s laggard position in the industry can be traced all the way back to the beginning. Throughout the seventies AMD diversified its product portfolio into graphics, audio devices

applications used by their customers. After HP turned the focus from UNIX to ESG, there was a decrease in sales and revenue by mid-1998. Q.2: Why did HP get involved in developing the IA-64 architecture? Analyze the strategy. Ans: By early 1990s, RISC chips had progressed monotonously and the performance limits had reached. WINTEL systems captured a large volume of workstation/server market reducing the economy for RISC

Instructions from the Intel 8008 are a subset of the Intel 8080’s included instructions. Instructions that were added provide some new operand-addressing and facilities for modifying 16-bit data. The added instructions can be classified as load/store, register-pair, HL-specific, accumulator-adjust, carry, expanded I/O and interrupt instructions. The Intel 8008’s instruction set revamped the Intel’s 8008 instruction an example of this is the set even in identical interrupt mechanism. Although the

2013 The Pentium Flaw During the year of 1994 one of Intel’s processors called the Pentium microprocessor chip had a small flaw inside the chip. These Pentium processors included something new called a floating-point unit, which is also know as a math coprocessor. These Pentium processors had this floating-point unit built into the processors, which makes them much faster. These chips that were made had errors on the floating-point unit that corrupted instructions for division. This cased the
