11.3.2008 AMD versus Intel, bye bye Intel
You may recall a few months back when AMD took out full-page newspaper ads to challenge Intel to a dual-core server duel. Intel declined to take up AMD on its offer, but the challenge got us thinking: what would the results of a dual-core desktop CPU fight look like? Many people equate Windows PCs with Intel Pentium processors (and soon will likely be doing the same with Macs), but we've seen dual-core CPU AMD systems power ahead of dual-core Intel-based PCs on more than one occasion.

The new Intel processor, codename 'Yonah', announced for the 3rd of January 2006, will according to X86-secret simply be called 'Core Solo' or 'Core Duo'. Depending on the amount of cores (no way! where did they come up with that). It's more than 10 years ago since Intel created ax X86-architecture CPU that wasn't called 'Pentium'. Machines with Centrino CPU's will also get a new sticker-logo from now on, saying only 'Centrino', without the real CPU name. The amount of cores will still be mentioned on the sticker.

Intel to take 'Averill' to market as Centrino-like platform
Intel will next year launch its third branded PC platform, after Centrino and Viiv, this time pitched at corporate desktops.
As yet there's no word on the platform's go-to-market brandname, but it will almost certainly be based on Intel's 'Averill' platform. Averill was announced at the chip giant's Developer Forum in March this year for availability in 2006.
Averill is based on Intel's upcoming 'Broadwater' chipset, which will ship primarily as the 965 family, but also as the 946 and 963 product lines, it is believed. The platform also takes in Intel's next-generation Gigabit Ethernet controller, 'Nineveh', and its 65nm dual- and single-core Pentium D and Pentium 4 6xx processors.

Intel is apparently set to begin transition the Core 2 Duo E4000 series with the new E700 series, which is based on the 45 nm Wolfdale core. According
to reports, the company will launch the E7200 model with a clock speed of 2.53 GHz in Q2 of this year. The first chip will integrate a 1066 MHZ FSB,
up from 800 MHz in the E4000 series, and a 3 MB shared L2 cache, up from 2 MB. The thermal design power remains at 65 watts, HKEPC.com reports.
Overall, 45 nm processors will be rare sight on the market, as Intel expects only 5% of its total output to be 45 nm. The share is expected to climb
to 20% in Q2 and to 50% in Q3. Meanwhile, first information about the E8000 series, the successor of the current Core 2 Duo E6000 models, begins to
show up. Several media outlets are reporting that the 45 nm dual cores will be shipping in late January, while the Q9000 quad-cores are expected to
follow with a few weeks of delay.

21.06.2007Intel has ARM in its crosshairs
Intel could not have signaled its target for the next five years any more clearly than it did at last week's Intel Developer Forum.
The world's largest chipmaker didn't make a whole lot of news at the latest edition of IDF, but it did send a message to the legion of
chipmakers that build chips based on the ARM architecture: We're coming for you.
That didn't exactly send shivers down the
spine of executives at Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Samsung, STMicroelectronics and others that build chips for mobile phones. They've seen this
coming for a long time, an inevitable consequence of Intel finding itself with reams of chipmaking capacity and a maturing PC market. And Intel has
already tried this once, spending billions trying to develop a combination of chips for the cell phone market but failing miserably.

26.09.2007Intel Quits OLPC Board Over Pressure to Kill Classmate PC
Intel resigned from the One Laptop Per Child Project's board of directors after refusing a request to abandon its Classmate PC program, according

laptop based on an Intel processor is over, the source said.
Intel's Classmate PC is a low-cost laptop designed for students in
developing countries and competes against OLPC's XO laptop, which is based on a microprocessor from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Intel and OLPC
agreed in July to work together on the development of technology for low-cost laptops and to stop disparaging each other's laptop offerings.

It is interesting to note that the pre-beta build of

which if the term "pre-beta" is accurate would indicate that
Windows 7 beta one will be some build number higher than 7004. On the blogosphere the general consensus has been that beta one
would be build 7000.0.081212-1400 which the following screen shot from Scott's laptop could indicate is inaccurate.

12.03.2009Intel gets approval to build $2.5B plant in China
The Chinese government has
given Intel permission to
build a $2.5 billion
chip-manufacturing plant in
Dalian, on China's
northeastern coast. According
a Chinese announcement on
China's NDRC (National
Development and Reform
Commission) website, Intel
plans to build a plant with a
monthly production capacity of
52,000 chips that will produce
semiconductors, including
microprocessors, on
300-millimeter wafers using a
90-nanometer manufacturing
process. The planned plant
will be the first constructed
by Intel in China, and it will
operate along with test and
assembly plants in Shanghai
and Chengdu, a city in
southwestern China.
While a planned plant in
Dalian that uses a
90-nanometer process
technology would lag several
generations behind the most
advanced technology used by
Intel, the plant would still
rank among the most
sophisticated in the world.
Nonetheless, I fail to see why
Intel would bother investing
such a large sum if it isn't
going to help them stay on
top.

05.06.2008Intel Classmate Notebook Gets Touch, Tablet Upgrades
The Intel Classmate PC notebook is undergoing a makeover that will add touch-screen and tablet capabilities to the low-cost laptop for students, and
these versions of the Classmate will also include the Intel Atom processor. At the Intel Developer Forum here, Intel representatives were showing off
the new Classmate design that is expected to hit retail shelves and the education IT market by the end of 2008. While some of the original Classmate
designs used the older Intel Celeron processor, these updated laptops will come standard with single-core Atom processors.
Intel also
announced a dual-core Atom processor at IDF, but that chip is not expected to make its way into the Classmate design anytime soon, said Jeffery
Galinovsky, a regional manager for Intel's Classmate PC Ecosystem. The Classmate PC is Intel's own version of the low-cost laptop and it
competes, at some level, with the One Laptop Per Child XO. Unlike the OLPC nonprofit project, the Intel Classmate notebook is more of a design than an
actual product, and it provides a way to supply low-cost PCs and to give local manufacturers, as well as Intel, a way to make a profit.
