Intel Profits From Cost Cuts; Forecast Lags | www.smartmoney.com

The PC Market has slowed down. Intel's weak Q2 sales revenue guidance confirms this.

Intel did a good job of cost cutting and making yield improvements, but not as good a job in booking business so far this year.

PC Bookings were pretty weak in Q1; this negatively impacted Intel.

Better bookings will occur in June if stronger than expected back-to- school PC builds materialize.

Voltage Problems Are Painful, Expensive

August 29, 2006

Rumor: AMD is having trouble with 65nm processor voltages | www.legitreviews.com

Who cares about the voltage that a PC processor chip uses? Almost everyone. Here's why.

• The voltage, while tiny, determines the wattage (the total power and heat) that the chip consumes.

• Increasing the voltage a tiny bit increases power consumption by a lot (square law). It also increases heat dissipation, a big deal for laptops and other space-constrained systems.

• Finally, this is a difficult problem to fix. It involves a time-consuming and expensive engineering redesign of the chip.
