Intel accelerated its plan to produce new chips

On March 5, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said the company hopes to keep its profits by making chip models faster than rival AMD in the context of the market's poor development. .

According to Paul Otellini, in order to minimize the impact of the price war against AMD, Intel must revert to its fast-growing habits as before when the Pentium chip maker. After launching Pentium IV, Intel was like a "sleepover on the victory" to lose market share to AMD when the rival announced the 2003 Opteron chip.

To revive its inherent power, Intel has announced the roadmap to upgrade the microarchitecture architecture and narrow down the transistor geometry in the following years. Expected this year, Intel will upgrade the Core 2 Duo 65nm production line to the 45nm platform for the "Penryn" code-named chip. In 2008, Intel will upgrade its Core architecture to the newer "Nehalem" chip model; and the year 200 will narrow the technology line to 32nm.

The strategy will allow Intel to reverse the current competitive landscape: being overtaken by AMD. In the past 15 years, Intel's chip market share has increased from 72% to 87%. However, these are very hard against AMD's power.

Currently the chip market is growing quite bleak, and although Windows Vista is warmly welcomed, the demand for businesses for this new system is still very low. Businesses seem to be quite cautious when upgrading to Vista, because in addition to training human resources to become familiar with the new operating system, the cost of buying copyright, upgrading the network, hardware . will be very high. . In addition, Windows XP is still rated very well, suitable for small and medium enterprises, so it is also the reason for the transition to Vista will be slower.
