MOORE’S LAW Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel states that the number of transistors on a chip will double approximately every two years. Later he predicted that the doubling is happening even fast and stated that the transistors will be doubled in every 18 months. Intel uses this golden rule as a springboard for technological advancement and guiding principles that drives the chip functionality higher with low power and low cost per function and per transistor by introducing new materials and

hi Table 3.3 lists the primary specifications for the Intel family of processors used in IBM and compatible PCs. Table 3.4 lists the Intel-compatible processors from AMD, Cyrix, NexGen, IDT, and Rise. NOTE Note in Table 3.3 that the Pentium Pro processor includes 256KB, 512KB, or 1MB of full-core speed L2 cache in a separate die within the chip. The Pentium II/III processors include 512KB of 1/2 core speed L2 cache on the processor card. The Celeron, Pentium II PE, and Pentium IIIE processors

were designed proprietary, so no one could clone them. 1985-1993 – Apple’s combination of superior software and hardware gave Apple unmatched capabilities in desktop publishing. Apple typically designed their products from scratch, using unique chips, disk drives, and monitors. So, in my opinion, Apple’s competitive advantages were: * Their design and style * Quality * Simplicity in use * Multimedia 2) In 2005 PC industry logged > 200 billion dollars sales of about 208

Intel is a multinational corporation famous for its work with microprocessors. While widely regarded as the benchmark against which many if not all other processors are measured they have not always been flawless, particularly in the early 90’s when they shifted from naming their products with numbers to actual names. That is of course not to say that the naming process had anything to do with the fault, it’s simply a handy landmark in remembering the occurrence of the so-called Pentium flaw. The

Starting off, there are two major players in the CPU industry, Intel and their rival AMD. Something you should know about a CPU is that it has a system bus which carries info into, and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU it is usually referred to as the Frontside bus, the frontside bus is normally equipped with a 64bit wide data path. In the CPU you have a controller including one or more ALU’s and the internal cache. * ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit *responsible for performing complex

Jason Ho BAEP 599 Intel Research: Exploring the future Intel’s innovation and new product development process was predicated on a concept that was deemed old and no longer effective. Driven by Moore’s Law, the old roadmap-driven research method identified barriers that hindered usage of the continuing and increasing power of chips, and then built solutions to overcome those barriers. David Tennenhouse along with Hans Mulder implemented a new method, the ‘exploratory research’ strategy
