Intel Workshop - October 2005
Posted by: Micah Schmidt and Jim Kirk on: 10/10/2005 05:00 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
After two days spent talking shop with members of Intel's marketing team and the engineers behind their products, two new guiding philosophies seem to be present at Intel:
1) "Dual-core for Everyone"
2) "Performance per Watt"
Realizing that continuing with the clockspeed race would ultimately lead to power management issues for the enterprise and the home user, Intel changed its focus to dual and multi-core technology. By applying the principles of voltage scaling to their dual-core methodology, Intel hopes to maximize performance within the same power envelope. Their ultimate goal is to make dual-core the norm for desktops, servers and mobile devices by 2006/2007.
During a presentation by one of Intel's marketing directors, it became clear that Intel is stressing a more platform-oriented focus. As a company they want to be more about usage-oriented computing than simply one that stresses pure technology. Performance is the metric that gets the headlines, but for most large organizations it is further down the priority totem pole. Items such as availability, manageability and efficiency are considered the keys to continued success at Intel.
Let us continue outlining our experiences at Intel's Jones Farm campus.
What are Intel's plans for the future? How will they affect your data center? Your home PC? Read on and hopefully we can shed some light on these questions.
