Intel decided to compete with the not-for-profit OLPC (one laptop per child) program with its Classmate project. Their laptop will be more expensive and definitely for profit. Is it fair to view children from the poorest nations as a MARKET?
Two intelligence assessments from January 2003 predicted that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq could lead to internal violence and provide a boost to Islamic extremists and terrorists in the region, according to congressional sources and former intelligence officials familiar with the prewar studies.
Today, Intel has introduced its upgraded Centrino platform, formerly code-named Santa Rosa, along with several new mobile processors. In PC World tests of two systems equipped with the new Intel products--the $1309 HP Pavilion dv6500t and the $2270 Gateway E-475M--we found that the new platform offers users a good technological leg up
Intel overhauled its entire line of processors last year in an effort to stop or reverse big market-share gains by AMD, whose chips were widely considered to be more powerful and energy efficient.
Intel has new chips in the works that it hopes will power the next generation of consumer electronics devices and telecommunications servers.
Intel has announced that it will open a wafer fabrication facility in China, a significant milestone in the chip giant's manufacturing history.
Intel Corporation announced today its entry into solid state drives with the Intel Z-U130. Aimed at delivering performance and value, the drives are based on NAND flash memory with standard USB 2.0/1.1 interfaces.
AMD filed a brief yesterday accusing Intel of destroying documentation that was to be used in the company's antitrust suit against Intel. Intel acknowledges most of these problems but blames them on innocent human error.

Intel has demonstrated samples of its more-advanced Penryn chip. It's manufactured in a 45nm process that uses hafnium-based high-k dielectric and metal gates to decrease current leakage--and yield faster, more energy-efficient chips
IBM, Intel, Microsoft and other tech companies are increasingly betting that the health care industry will help them grow as their traditional markets mature.
Xslimmer - Your Mac, on a Diet!

Xslimmer is a new, fun way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality. How is this possible? It is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
INTEL is touting a diminutive new microprocessor that it says could deliver "supercomputer-like" performance to home computers and handheld devices.Intel said its unprecedented programmable processor was not much larger than a fingernail, used less power than a typical home appliance and could perform more than a trillion calculations per
Now that the Megahertz race has faded into the distance (we hear it was a myth), Intel is well and truly kicking off the start of a multi-core war with the demonstration of an 80-core research processor in San Francisco last week
Pentagon officials undercut the intelligence community in the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq by insisting in briefings to the White House that there was a clear relationship between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, the Defense Department's inspector general said Friday.
AMD's processor prices remain under severe pressure: Caught between Intel's outgoing Pentium D series on the low end and the Core 2 Duo series on the high end, the X2 Athlons remain vulnerable market shifts and Intel's supply strategy. Anyone intending to build a Vista PC on a budget should begin having a closer look at AMD.
The U.S. acknowledged Friday that Iraq is spiraling downward, with sectarian animosity growing and new Iraqi troops being added too slowly in a precarious mix that could draw the country's neighbors into the violence if American troops leave.
The next milestone in the relentless pursuit of smaller, higher performance microchips has been unveiled. Chip-maker Intel has announced that it will start manufacturing processors using transistors just 45 nanometres (billionths of a metre) wide.
Intel has begun shipping 'Kedron', the 802.11n-compatible wireless networking module that's a key component of the next generation of Centrino, 'Santa Rosa'. It has also persuaded a number of access point vendors to sticker their 802.11n products as Centrino-friendly.
Researchers at Intel have announced the world's fastest silicon modulator--an advance that could cut bandwidth costs and make computers run faster and cooler.
According to one source, thousands of jobs may go in Intel EMEA, partly as a result of the proposed AMD ATI merger.
It would be nice if VMware could get a little more open, too, but the truth is that it's going to take longer for some companies to shed their reliance on binary blobs than others.
The past few days have seen a burst of quad-core-related news items from both AMD and Intel. In this post, I'll take a look at announcements from both companies and try to put them in the larger context of the Intel-AMD rivalry.
