Wind River Systems: Chips, Chips Everywhere
Senior Analyst: Garrett Bekker 12/8/99
It is certainly no revelation to state that electronics and computers are revolutionizing the way we live.
Most of the attention, so far, has gone to companies that make computers and the chips that go inside them, such as Dell Computer (NASDAQ:DELL - news) , Compaq Computer (NYSE:CPQ - news) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC - news) .
However, much of the future growth in the microprocessor industry will come from more mundane applications of processors in everyday items such as alarm clocks, automated teller machines, car braking systems, robots and traffic lights, as well as more exotic items such as jet fighter control panels. This class of computer chips is known as “embedded” processors, since instead of residing inside PCs, they're used in appliances and other electronic equipment.
