IBM has won a key ally in its quest to turn around the fortunes of its PowerPC processor, which suffered last year when Apple announced it would use Intel chips instead in its machines. Freescale Semiconductor, which helped develop and proliferate the Power platform, has become the latest company to...
The world's biggest chip company is taking its technology smaller, announcing this week it has hit the 45-nanometer (nm) milestone with its "next-generation, high-volume" semiconductor manufacturing process. Intel is on track to create chips smaller than the current 65-nm and 90-nm variety by next y...
IBM, Sony and Toshiba are launching a new phase of their joint technology development alliance that will lead to the development of advanced process technologies at 32 nanometers and beyond. Specifically, they are working on further developing the "cell" microprocessor design and its underlying sili...
New wireless video processing chipsets that let consumers capture, store and transfer video between various display devices in the home -- TVs or PCs -- debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The chips were developed by ViXS Systems, a Toronto-based developer of video proce...
Worldwide semiconductor revenue will total US$235 billion in 2005, a 6.9 percent increase from 2004, according to the latest Gartner Group data. This will be the first time that the semiconductor industry has surpassed the previous record-setting year in 2000 when revenue reached $223 billion. "Stro...
Looking to maintain its competitive advantage for years to come, Intel yesterday said it has developed a new, ultra-fast, yet very low power prototype transistor. The transistor uses new materials that could form the basis of Intel's microprocessors and other logic products beginning in the second h...
Sun Microsystems unveiled its updated UltraSPARC T1 processor this week, touting multi-threading technology that cuts power use for ecological and economic benefit. The new chip, formerly code-named "Niagara," will power Sun's new line of Sun Fire servers, to be released by the end of the year. The ...
AMD reportedly scored a market top of Intel last month, earning the title of leading supplier of processors for the U.S. retail PC market in October, according to Current Analysis. The research firm declared that AMD processors powered 49.8 percent of desktop and notebook computers sold in the U.S.
Intel this week signaled changes and delays in its road map for its Xeon and Itanium processors, stirring some speculation that rival AMD is forcing the server chip adjustments with its own success in the space. Industry analysts, however, said the alterations are too long term to have much impact, ...
Research in Motion (RIM) announced this week that it would be using Intel processors for its next-generation wireless devices, a move one analyst called a big deal for the chipmaker. The companies said RIM will design its Blackberry communication devices with Intel's XScale architecture and PXA9xx c...
Dell yesterday said it has added multi-core technology from Intel to its portfolio of dual-socket servers and workstations. Meanwhile, AMD also said yesterday that IBM, HP, and Sun are using its new dual-core Opteron. The announcements undoubtedly heighten the competition between AMD and rival Intel...
Dell today said it has added multi-core technology from Intel to its portfolio of dual-socket servers and workstations. Meanwhile, AMD also said today that IBM, HP, and Sun are using its new dual-core Opteron. The announcements undoubtedly heighten the competition between AMD and rival Intel. Analys...
After nearly two weeks of speculation, Intel this week began detailing its switch from existing NetBurst chip architecture to a new processor platform that borrows heavily from its Pentium M mobile chip, a move that rival AMD is paralleling in order to adjust to the market preference for notebooks a...
