devices today but only two are true heavy hitters in the market, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). The market slug fest that has been happening between these two companies have driven the pace at which computing has advanced by leaps and bounds. They are a perfect example of how competition and not just supply and demand push industries to their pinnacle. To give a little background to the current market situation, Intel was the original inventor of the x86 microarchitecture central processing

date was June 13, 1994. Through a process of elimination / troubleshooting, on October 19, 1994 the professor had exhausted all other possible reasons and or causes for the miscalculations. On October 24, 1994, Dr. Nicely reported his problem to Intel. Intel ignored the doctors concerns. Then on October 30, 1994, he sent emails describing what he had uncovered in the Pentium floating point unit to various colleagues. The Pentium flaw was now verified by others as well. Word quickly spread across the

coprocessor would have errors when dividing certain floating numbers. “The most famous example and the worst well-known case is 4195835/3145727, discovered by Tim Coe of Vitesse Semiconductors.” (Mark Janeba 1995). This error was originally found by Intel designer shortly after the release of the processor, but it was thought to be such a minor error that there was no need to worry about it. Later the problem was found by a college math professor, named Thomas Nicely at Lynchburg College, who was computing

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
