sourceSAN FRANCISCO -- Despite the industry's focus on efficient chips in recent years, Intel will continue to build new designs for high-speed processors, including a prototype teraflop chip displayed at the company's Intel Developer Forum here.
Video Demands Noted
The popularity of the video-sharing Web site YouTube demonstrates this growing need for speed, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said at the event Tuesday.
Downloading a 60-second video clip would have taxed more than 80 percent of the power of Intel's 2003-era Pentium M, and about half the power of its 2004-vintage Pentium 4, he told a crowd at the conference. That same clip calls for only a few percent of the Core 2 Duo, Intel's current top-of-the line PC processor.
