  How to Make a Microprocessor

  This is a live demonstration from the 2008 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures illustrating the concept of photo reduction, by projecting the initials of a volunteer onto a grain of rice. This technique forms the basis for photolithography which is used to manufacture microprocessors. You can watch the 2008 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in full at: research.microsoft.com or by visiting the Royal Institution web site. There is a dedicated web site to accompany the 2008 Christmas Lectures, with ten interactive games as well as downloadable PDF instructions for experiments which can be conducted at home or at school: www.rigb.org

  Making First 32nm Microprocessor

  Sanjay Natarajan is an Intel rock star and director of logic technology development for the worlds first microprocessors built with 32 nanometer process, codenamed Westmere. Sanjay shares how Intel has reinvented the transistor again, improving upon Intels leading 45nm processor by creating smaller gate pitch and higher drive performance. He talks about using immersion lithography technique for the first time, and how different teams across Intel optimized new energy efficiency and performance features that will be available inside all new Intel Core microprocessors in 2010.

  Microprocessor Marketing Wars

  [Recorded November 20, 2009] Ever since the launch of the 4004 microprocessor in 1971, AMD, IBM, Intel, MIPS, Motorola, National, Sun, Texas Instruments, Zilog and many other major corporations have fought epic marketing wars to establish their chips as the engines of choice for multiple generations of computers. There were battles over technical specifications, performance benchmarks, software architectures, RISC, 32 bits, and much more. Over the years, the fight shifted from one for hardware design engineers hearts and minds to a battle for those of the computer companies CEOs', and ultimately, for those of the consumers themselves. This combative environment drove the evolution of spec-based to brand-based microprocessor marketing. This panel discussion focuses on how the marketing of microprocessors changed as the semiconductor industry grew at unprecedented rates during the 1970s thru the 1990s. Learn about the events and the decisions that shaped the both the semiconductor and computing industries. Wonder at how annual chip marketing budgets ballooned from $100000 to over $1Billion in less than 20 years. The panelists and moderator for this session were all protagonists in these microprocessor marketing wars at three of the major players: AMD, Intel and Motorola. - Jack Browne: Hi End Microprocessor Marketing Manager, Motorola, 1981-1992 - Dave House: Intel SVP - General Mgr, Microprocessor business, 1978-81, 1982-91 - Claude Leglise: Intel 8086-8088-286-386-486 ...
