Intel Launches Core Microarchitecture to Battle Rivals

Intel set a different tone at the Spring 2006 Intel Developer Forum (IDF), focusing on the technology and the increasing competitive pressures it faces with very little glitz, reports In-Stat. The report said Intel’s launch of its Core microarchitecture will aid it in a competitive position with AMD in desktop PCs and DP volume servers, while maintaining the lead in mobile PCs, the high-tech market.

"Intel is complementing the strength of the Core architecture with other silicon and software solutions that make up its platform strategy and will be a key strategic advantage going forward by offering enhanced performance, reliability, manageability, and power management," says Jim McGregor, In-Stat analyst.

The key finding of the research "Intel Looks to the Future: New Core, Quad-Core and Much More" are:
•The aggressive launch and focus on ultra mobile PC (UMPC) solutions by Intel in conjunction with similar launches by Microsoft, Samsung, and other companies at CeBit.
•A demonstration of a wireless USB (WUSB) and Internet Protocol (IP) over UWB solutions with similar demonstrations by many other vendors.
•The launch of Virtualization for Directed I/O (VTD), which will enable complete virtual system partitions.
