Crisis breeds change, and given people don't like change, this can result in market shifts in months that otherwise might have taken years. This week, three things happened that I can tie back into this theme. AMD, driven by crisis, provided a strong example of how the U.S. could address its financi...
Intel began shipping its Atom Processor 330 Friday. The chip is the latest addition to the Atom product line and has been specifically designed to run on so-called nettops -- desktop computers built primarily in order to surf the Web, send e-mail and perform basic Internet tasks, the company said. "...

The Xeon Processor 7400 series includes seven 45 nanometer chips sporting up to six processing cores per chip and 16 MB of shared cache memory.

Two of my favorite attractions at Disneyland when I was growing up and working at the park, and which are no longer there, were the Carousel of Progress and the House of the Future. Both showcased a future based on the thinking that was going on when I was born. They did this by creating models, min...
AMD announced Monday it took the No. 1 spot on the VMware VMmark virtualization benchmark for x86 servers with its quad-core Opteron processor running HP ProLiant DL585 G5 servers. The hardware maker's 16-core chips now own the top three rankings for the VMmark benchmark, said AMD. The DL785, with 8...
Last week was kind of amazing -- I knew a number of things that were going to be happening at IDF but was blindsided by an announcement Intel made that could change the world as we know it. Nikola Tesla turned over in his grave, and we are one step closer to his Tower of Power. Intel also fleshed ou...
Intel is sharing its vision for the future of computing at its Intel Developer Forum, which is taking place in San Francisco. Put simply, the products under development have three major focuses: superfast, superportable and superconnected. Revelations include details about the much-hyped Nehalem hig...
These were great games, and I particularly got a kick out of the initial U.S. swimming team win, which came in the face of the French team, who said they would "smash" us. I couldn't help but draw a parallel from that to the Apple reaction I got from suggesting that Dell might be able to address a m...
Advanced Micro Devices announced the upcoming availability of what it says is the world's fastest graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. The card is part of AMD's ATI Radeon 4800 X2 series. It's the most powerful graphics technology to come out of AMD, delivering a 2.4 teraFLOPS of processing pow...
Intel on Monday released technical details about its upcoming line of microprocessors, codenamed "Larrabee" in advance of the company's presentation at the SIGGRAPH conference, to be held in Los Angeles next week. The family of chips will be the springboard for a many-core -- as few as eight and up ...
Intel announced on Thursday new processors built around its plans for a new category of highly integrated, purpose-built and Web-savvy system-on-chip designs. The company also unveiled its first eight products under its Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor family for security, storage, communications ...
I like writing about conflict because it gives you more than one dimension to a story, and there were two interesting conflicts that I ran into last week. The first, more near-term, will likely define the direction of the notebook market, and it is important because it implies an ether/or decision w...
Samsung and Sun Microsystems have partnered to develop a single-level-cell NAND flash memory device for use in solid state drives with significantly high endurance levels, the two companies said Wednesday. The new device will provide much higher endurance levels than other flash memory devices curre...

The chipmaker will offer the platform with a range of five new Intel Core 2 Duo processors and later this quarter, the company will release a quad-core version of the platform. Th...
DreamWorks Animation is teaming up with Intel to build a new kind of 3-D moviemaking technology. The two companies have formed a strategic alliance in which Intel will provide both hardware and software for the Hollywood giant. The move marks the end of DreamWorks' three-year deal with AMD and will ...
