poor pathetic rejek, I wonder if he knows how many CPU's process the garbage he spouts on the internet. And how many of those CPU's have come from the very fine minds, Jewish minds in Israel... Damn good return on investment for 3 billion a year.
Intel's New Pentium 4 From Israel
(DFJ-Jan/Feb 01) Kiryat Gat - Intel Corp. recently introduced the Pentium 4 microprocessor, heralded as the fastest chip available for personal computers.
The chip, which embodies a new design or micro-architecture called Netburst, will serve as the basis of several generations of chips in the future and was produced at Intel's Fab 18 Kiryat Gat plant in Israel, among others. Intel hasn't introduced a new micro-architecture since 1995, when the Pentium Pro came out.
The new PC's will be sold by leading vendors including Compaq, Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and IBM. The processor is initially aimed at high-end customers who are heavy users of 3-D graphics, video, audio, multimedia and Internet technologies, and are prepared to pay the estimated $2,000 to $3,000 per computer depending on individual configurations. For functions such as word processing, significant differences are not expected to be noticeable. Pricing in volume quantities is $819 and $644 each for the 1.5 and 1.4 gigahertz (GHz) parts, respectively.
"Based on our experience with the transition from Pentium II to Pentium III, it will take a few years before Pentium 4 becomes the market leader," said Moshe Vanun, general manager of Intel Semiconductors, Intel's sales and marketing group in Israel. According to industry analysts, by 2002 the Pentium 4 is expected to start overtaking the Pentium III in terms of revenues but will still lag behind in number of units. Intel plans to increase the speed to 2GHz by the third quarter of 2001.
The Kiryat Gat plant, which employs 1,500 people directly and close to another 1,500 indirectly, is a likely contender for producing the smaller micron chips. The Pentium 4 supersedes the 1.2GHz Athlon, produced by Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
