Intel technology breakthroughs in 2006

2006 marked an important milestone in Intel's development history with the most introduced products ever. With its advantages, Intel continues to affirm its ability to transform the global personal and business computing industry. Another year is coming, we look back at some of Intel's remarkable milestones in the past year.

- 2006 marked a real dawn of a multidisciplinary era . In the summer of 2006, Intel unveiled the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which delivers the leading edge of performance for laptops and desktops and a server version.

As of mid-October, Intel shipped 6 million products. Intel Core 2 Duo processors for desktops save up to 40% in power consumption while improving performance by up to 40% compared to Intel's best processor before. Just four months later, in November 2006, Intel began shipping Intel Core 2 Quad Core quad-core processors - the product has four 'processors' inside to further expand its lead capacity. early on the performance of Intel products.

- The record number of processors introduced . Intel introduced a record number of processors (more than 40 processors) within 100 days for all of its mainstream product lines and one to two quarters earlier than expected. The introduction of dual-core processors with multi-threaded data processing capabilities Itanium 2 has helped this architecture become the fastest-growing architecture among all non-x86 architecture products. .

- The dual-core laptops continue to improve battery uptime . Intel brought the first dual-core laptops for the industry to the industry with the power of Core Duo processors in January, helping to increase operating efficiency by 30%, reducing power consumption. Consumption of more than 20%, further improving battery uptime, wireless connectivity. In June 2006, Intel unveiled its Core 2 Duo processor, which significantly improved its performance by more than 20% compared to Core Duo.

- Breakthroughs in nanotechnology : Three 65-nanometer (nm) plants are put into production, while others have yet to produce any 65nm product. In addition, Intel has succeeded in demonstrating the next generation 45nm manufacturing process and is expected to start bringing two 45nm plants into production in 2007.

- Intel has introduced its new Viiv technology to the market and is working with a number of global companies such as Anytime, AOL, DirecTV, NBC Universal, Shanghai Media Group, Yahoo as well as other companies to push fast availability of attractive digital entertainment content, from the Internet to computers and TVs, in the user's home.

- Top corporate aggregators promote WiMAX . The momentum for this technology has increased this year with more than 250 WIMAX testing and deployment projects conducted globally. Important agreements and business investments from Intel, Sprint, Motorola, Clearwire and other leading companies have also contributed to the strong growth of this technology.

- Intel's attempt at light quantum technology on silicon , including Intel's recent announcement of a silicon laser, is paving the way for new generations of fast connectivity between chips, crossing a barrier Future obstacles to get faster computer chip designs.

- Intel entered the NAND flash memory business with new partners and customers. At the end of 2005, Intel established a partnership with Micron Technology to create a new company specializing in NAND flash memory production. In 2006, Apple became the first major customer of this factory.
