Fireside Chat with Gordon Moore, Live at IDF: Part 2

23:17 | Rio Pesino | Sep 19th, 2007 12:21am |

Gordon E. Moore, Intel retired chairman and CEO (and chairman emeritus of the board) spoke with Moira Gunn onstage at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, in an interview that Intel called a “fireside chat.”

In this segment, find out whether or not you owe your workplace set-up to Moore and Intel (hint: you probably do). Also, was “Intel” ever the hame of a motel company in the Midwest?

The conversation covered a full career, from a time before semiconductors, when the very notion of integrated circuits was new — and controversial. Since then, of course, not only has Moore been on the winning side of the technology, but his name has become synomymous with the notion that the technology of the chip is on an aggressive development track — “Moore’s Law” has guided and challenged the chip industry for more than 30 years. (Asked if he regrets that name, he says, “I guess I don’t - now.”)

An End to Moore’s Law?
Every year sees speculation about a possible end to Moore’s Law. What does Moore, himself say (this year)? The answer is in this podcast. The physical world is subject to limiting factors, and Moore predicts that sometime in the ...

Intel Says 45 Nanometer Microprocessors Due Later This Year

08:40 | Jason Lopez | Jan 27th, 2007 |

This video was commissioned by Intel.

Intel announced that it will begin making 45 nanometer chips, code-named Penryn, in the second half of the year. The new microprocessors are the culmination of years of R&D using new materials to improve the efficiency and performance of silicon-based semiconductors.

The company says ...
Looking for Investments at CES

19:01 | Robert Scoble | Jan 19th, 2007 |

Jim Jones is a managing director at Scale Venture Partners, a venture capital firm which invests in emerging tech and healthcare companies. Jim’s focus is on semiconductors and consumer electronics, so we met with him last week at CES to see what he was seeing on the show floor.
Intel's Laser-enabled Chips Could be Silver Bullet

09:04 | Jason Lopez | Sep 19th, 2006 |

SANTA CLARA, CA, September 19, 2006 (PodTech News) — Intel says its new experimental semiconductors could be the breakthrough the chip industry has been looking for — the one that will allow chips to keep pace with Moore’s Law. They’ll do this by using lasers instead of wires to shuttle around data. Semiconductor experts have been pointing to a possible end of the “Law” that predicts that chip performance will essentially double every 18 months.
