SAN FRANCISCO—Asking Intel Corp. to talk about its new processor technologies is easy. Persuading the company to talk about when theyll appear in actual hardware is another matter altogether. Intel executives now call its “Ts” — the grab bag of technologies that enhance a processors performance beyond clock speed — part of the “service-oriented enterprise.” […]

Ericsson Sverige AB, a Swedish developer of telecommunications silicon, said it has decided to stop Bluetooth development, which the company said was an indicator of the technologys mature state. The company will continue to manufacture Bluetooth components, however. Specifically, the company restructured its licensing operation, Ericssson Technology Licensing, which had set out to design Bluetooth […]

SAN FRANCISCO—The dot-com boom-and-bust cycle will be followed by a surge, a top Intel executive said Tuesday, prompted by a shift toward multicore technologies. In turn, that surge will prompt a “Moores Law” of data expansion, Intel President and Chief Operating Officer Paul Otellini said in his keynote speech at the Intel Developer Forum here. […]

Intel Corp. laid out more of its WiMax roadmap on Tuesday, disclosing that the company has sampled its first “Rosedale” silicon to customers and tipping plans to add the technology to handsets in 2007. Intel has been a chief promoter of WiMax, which is seen as a wireless alternative to cable and DSL wired broadband […]

Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. are revving up for what they see as the next big step in the evolution of x86 processors—the introduction of dual processing cores. Both companies are demonstrating technology that puts two processing cores on a single chip, providing users with almost double the processing power in the same […]

IBM and Intel plan to open up their eServer blade platform to seed the market for future designs, the companies plan to announce Thursday. IBM officials positioned the move as one that was necessary to grow the market from the “early adopter” phase to the “mass adopter” phase. With the specifications—which Intel Corp. and IBM […]

Next week, the Wi-Fi Alliance will release Wi-Fi Multimedia, or WMM, an interim standard that will provide early quality-of-service functionality for multimedia equipment based on the emerging 802.11e specification. Wireless chip companies and equipment makers are expected to announce support for WMM on Sept. 8 at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. The standard […]

Intel co-founder Gordon Moores famous law will be re-examined again next week, as Intel shifts away from pure speed to the more efficient utilization of silicon. Moores Law, which generally states that the number of transistors will double every twelve to eighteen months, has been used as a rationale to explain the perpetual increases in […]

Intel said Thursday that it expects third-quarter revenues to be below forecasts, in an ominous indicator of the back-to-school and holiday season. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel Corp. said Thursday afternoon that it expects revenue for the third quarter to be between $8.3 billion and $8.6 billion, as compared with the previous range of $8.6 billion […]

An Intel-led ultra wideband group will announce next week that it has completed the specification for its physical-layer chip and formed a special interest group to promote its solution. The MultiBand OFDM Alliance (MBOA), a group composed of some of the top technology companies, will announce it has formed the MultiBand OFDM Alliance Special Interest […]
