Corporate PC Costs - Penny Wise?
April 28, 2009
Companies hoping to shave costs by putting off the purchase of new PCs may actually spend more, according to a study commissioned by Intel and conducted by Wipro Product Strategy and Services. For a quick overview, there's also a fact sheet. According to the study, businesses can cut operational costs up to 52 percent with new PCs over four-year-old systems. Maintenance and acquisition costs are lowest at three years, making that the most cost-efficient time to buy. In fact, by buying then, companies can recoup their investment in in as little as 10 months if the PCs include Intel vPro technology. Possibly as important as cost, hanging onto to those old PCs could make the company vulnerable to up to 53 percent more security incidents in year four than year one.

Intel to Challenge Decision by Korea Fair Trade Commission
December 9, 2008
Intel Corporation today issued the following statement in response to the final written opinion from the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC):
Intel has filed a formal complaint with the Seoul High Court seeking to overturn the KFTC's final written decision that was served on Intel on Nov. 7, 2008. While the specific details of the Intel complaint are confidential due to a substantial amount of highly confidential business information, the filing asserts that the KFTC has made substantial factual and legal errors in formulating its final written opinion.
Furthermore, Intel has expressed concern that the KFTC failed to understand the dynamics, pricing and competition in the microprocessor market. Intel also believes that the KFTC has misinterpreted or chose to ignore large amounts of economic evidence and analysis demonstrating the ultimate benefit to consumers from the reduced prices and increased performance of Intel's microprocessors.
Proceeding directly to a formal complaint will permit a court to review the case in its entirety and reach an independent decision. Through this process, Intel believes that it will be able to demonstrate that its business practices are both fair and lawful. More information about Intel and "Competition in the Innovation Economy" is available at www.intel.com/pressroom/legal.

PC Models Fit For a Duchess
November 04, 2008
The Duchess of Windsor once famously quipped, "You can never be too rich or too thin." Many IT managers today would argue those points when it comes to deploying computers. Fully loaded "rich" clients, especially those notebooks packed with confidential company information, are too vulnerable to theft and difficult to manage. Thin clients, while secure and easy to manage, lack the performance and mobility workers need. Mike Ferron-Jones, Intel's expert on alternative computing models, may have the answer - dynamic virtual clients. Mike will talk about DVC technologies on BrightTALK's Virtualization Webcast, 3:45 p.m. PST, Tue., Nov. 4. If you can't make that, there's plenty to be learned on the Intel Emerging Compute Model Forum.

75% of TOP 500 'Supercomputers' Now Intel-based
June 18, 2008
The just released TOP 500 Supercomputing ranking list verifies that the wide majority of today's systems are based on Intel multi-core processors and able to evaluate and calculate large volumes of data and complex algorithms very rapidly. 375 or 75 percent of the ranked supercomputers are based on Intel processors -- more than ever before. In the year 2000, only four - yes four - systems were based on Intel architecture, illustrating just how rapidly the leading processor architecture for supercomputers has been embraced. Intel's push into quad-core based systems is also well represented. In just over one and a half years since the first quad core processor, more than half (257 systems) now contain four-brained Intel chips.

Tick-Tock Transistors
November 08, 2007
We're just three days away from November 12th and the introduction of our first several Penryn-family processors. Penryn is the code-name for Intel's latest 45nm processors manufactured with revolutionary new transistors combining a hafnium-based and High-k, metal gate structures. These new chips will have up to 820 million reinvented transistors on them. Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004, had a mere 2,300 transistors when it was launched in 1971. Intel calls the company's yearly and alternating cadence of new microarchitecture blueprints or manufacturing nanometer process 'shrinks' it's 'Tick-Tock' strategy, and Penryn is on the clock.
