I am a power user running a x64 copy of Vista (x86 is not practical in my environment). ❋ Unknown (2009)
Post-x86 is by no means a forgone conclusion, and Intel is doing the right things to forestall such an eventuality, but it is far from preposterous — especially from a user device perspective. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But most calculating jobs will be handled by general-purpose microprocessors -- known by the designation x86 -- that are a mainstay of personal computers. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Mr. Gelsinger made it clear that the standard Intel circuitry used by most of its chips -- known by the designation x86 -- will do much of the work associated with graphics, though the chip will include a more specialized component called a vector processing unit. ❋ Unknown (2008)
David, either you work for Intel or you’re wearing blinders. x86 is a wasteful architecture and the needless energy consumption is problematic for large data centres. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Intel can’t stop Nvidia on all fronts, but it hasn’t been one to take its intellectual property or its near monopoly in x86 chips for granted — even if x86 computing is losing its ubiquity. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It can certainly be said that the argument for software momentum preserving x86 is less compelling in the mobile realm (and I’m referring to platforms smaller than netbooks here). ❋ Unknown (2009)
While existing virtualization on x86 is not great, I’d much rather put 4-8 VMs on x86 blades and call it a day than modify/recompile everything and try to get closed-source ISVs to support yet another microarchitecture. — ❋ Unknown (2008)
The Itanium chip, which was developed as a joint effort between Intel and H-P in the 1990s, is a separate strain of technology from the so-called x86 chips used in most personal computers and servers. ❋ Ben Worthen (2012)
The graphics chips are used to accelerate the number-crunching functions most often carried out by so-called x86 chips, which evolved from personal computing and have long dominated supercomputing. ❋ Shara Tibken (2011)
Such chips don't typically match the computing power of those used in most servers, which use a design called x86 and are primarily supplied by ❋ Unknown (2010)
Over the past decade, supercomputer engineers switched from specialized chips to so-called x86 chips from Intel and AMD in a market that generated $8.6 billion in hardware sales last year. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Among the biggest was a belated move to adopt low-cost servers that use so-called x86 chips from Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., instead of chips called Sparc that Sun designed. ❋ Unknown (2009)
AMD, Sunnyvale, Calif., is the only company that makes both graphics chips and microprocessors using the technology called x86 that is the standard in most PCs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
While so-called x86 chips from Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. typically have the core circuitry of one to six microprocessors, GPUs have hundreds of simpler processor cores. ❋ Unknown (2009)
International Business Machines Corp. and Dell Inc. Sun was also later than its rivals to offer what the industry calls x86 servers, which take their name from the design used by chip suppliers Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Another prediction is that the company's underlying chip design -- often called x86, but also labeled IA, for Intel architecture -- will push into cellphones, consumer products and other applications where it is not now commonplace. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In the 1990s, companies began buying racks of low-end servers based on a chip technology called x86 that is used by Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It later began battling Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. in microprocessors that use a design called x86 and run popular software built on Microsoft Corp. 's Windows operating systems. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The EU has been investigating Intel for years, ever since AMD complained in 2000 that Intel was boxing it out of the market for so-called x86 chips, the processors that power most personal computers and many low-end computer servers. ❋ Unknown (2008)
