“In June 1994, Intel engineers discovered a flaw in the floating-point math subsection of the Pentium microprocessor. Under certain data dependent conditions, low order bits of the result of floating-point division operations would be incorrect, an error that can quickly compound in floating-point operations to much larger errors in subsequent calculations. Intel corrected the error in a future chip revision, but nonetheless declined to disclose it. In October 1994, Dr. Thomas Nicely, Professor

DIVERSIFICATION AND GLOBAL POSITION 3 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is ranked as the as the world’s second largest PC chipmaker with a market share of just 17%, far behind Intel Corp. with 81% of the market (Buckman and Williams 2001, 1). However, in 2000 AMD’s sales jumped 63% to $4.6 billion, producing $983 million in net income and its first profitable year since 1995 (Streetwalker 2001, 1). AMD owns engineering, manufacturing, warehousing and administrative facilities where it produces

brought to the attention of then CEO, Andy Grove, he resisted ideas to recall the product. Instead, he wanted the problem resolved by sending out updates for the chip. Then when Intel came out and said it would not be shipping out the product it cost the company 475 million in recalls (Intel Corporation, 2015). Intel did not handle this problem correctly at all. First the company tried to hide the flaw, and say that it was common for a complex microprocessor to have a few bugs in it, and that

In 1994, Intel released a microprocessor that had a major flaw that they dismissed as simple and not likely to replicate very often while in use. The Pentium microprocessor, used in both the 486DX and Pentium CPUs both included a floating point unit, also known as a math coprocessor, which was used to help spreadsheet users. Floating point units used non-integers in their arithmetic methods instead of integers, much like the previous CPUs. FPUs made the arithmetic must faster and allowed for more

Intel did it again. The Q4-numbers of the technology bellwether beat the expectations of the analysts as they did in many quarters before (blogs.barrons) (marketwatch). The chip goliath benefited from the growth in emerging markets. During the earnings call with the analysts (you can find the transcript here seekingalpha) Intel CEO Paul S. Otellini explained (seekingalpha): "Emerging markets now account for 2 out of every 3 incremental units of PC demand, a shift that's rewarding Intel and the PC

processors and each has its own pin layout. The CPU was first developed at Intel with the help of Ted Hoff and others in the early 1970's. The first processor released by Intel was the 4004 processor. In the past, computer processors used numbers to identify the processor and help identify faster processors. For example, the Intel 80486 processor is faster than the 80386 processor. After the introduction of the Intel Pentium processor, all computer processors started using names like Athlon, Duron
