Microprocessor Forum Spam - This means so little that I shouldn't even post it, but in case anyone didn't get this info from MDR: Dear Colleague: I've spent much of the past two months sifting through proposals and assembling this year's Microprocessor Forum program, and I'm pleased to report that we once again have an outstanding program filled with important new microprocessor disclosures. We won't be disclosing the detailed agenda until August, but here's a sneak preview of the October 4-8 event: --We will have sessions on processors for PCs, processors for workstations and servers, embedded processors, digital signal processors, and 3D, multimedia, and networking processors. In each session, you'll be among the first to hear about the new chips that will drive the market in 2000 and beyond. --There will be disclosures on Intel's Coppermine and Merced processors, new members of AMD's Athlon family, the first dual-processor chip for servers, two new 3D accelerators, the first implementation of a radical new architecture for multimedia and networking applications, new DSP architectures, National's first information appliance on a chip, and new embedded CPU cores. All together, you'll hear presentations on 20 new chips, not to mention keynote talks by John Hennessy from Stanford and Ken Kutaragi from Sony, plus panel discussions on the future of PC system architecture, server system architecture, and microprocessor design. We're also offering six all-day seminars, led by our analysts: -- Processors for PCs: A Business and Strategy Perspective -- Comparing PC Processor Designs -- Intel's Merced and IA-64: Technology and Market Forecast -- 3D for PCs: Chips, Choices, and Challenges -- Trends in Microprocessors for Embedded Applications -- Processors for DSP: Architectures, Applications, and
