Analysis: Intel shows CPU strategies to dominate Internet computing
Can Intel Corp. drop its competitors with a one-two punch on the client and server fronts? That was the central technology and business question that hung in the air after this week's Intel Developer Forum (IDF), where the company indicated it is determined to tough out what may be the most complex architectural strategies the industry has ever seen in both its 32-bit and 64-bit microprocessor road maps.

Intel will strictly control 400-MHz bus
Willamette, the 32-bit Pentium processor announced by Intel Corp. at this week's Intel Developer Forum, sports a processor bus that raises a new batch of intellectual property issues for engineers looking to build core logic for Intel's CPUs. Willamette uses a 400-MHz front-side bus that seems in some significant respects to be a fresh design over the existing P6 bus of the Pentium III line.

Primarion buys bipolar fab from Lansdale
Primarion Inc., a chip startup, is buying a bipolar wafer fabrication facility from Lansdale Semiconductor Inc. (Tempe, Ariz.). Primarion, which was launched by former executives of Intel Corp., said it will rely on outside foundries to build its mixed-signal devices, and will use the Tempe facility acquired from Lansdale to support its R&D efforts. Lansdale will acquire an equity stake in Primarion as part of the deal.

Korea Semicon highlights memory dependence
The semiconductor industry's revival was in evidence this week as roughly 770 exhibitors — 30 percent more booths than last year — set up at Seoul's Convention and Exhibit Center for Semicon Korea 2000. Nevertheless, the event, sponsored by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (Mountain View, Calif.), suggested that despite a stated intent to change the mix, the South Korean industry remains heavily dependent on the volatile memory sector.

IBM pushes embedded DRAM as NEC changes tack
IBM Microelectronics has developed a DRAM core that can transfer data at 1 terabit/second to a PowerPC processor core running at gigahertz speeds. But the debate over how to balance speed and density when implementing on-chip memory — and whether DRAM can best do the job — has gained in intensity.
