Intel & Flash

Barrett: Embedded, flash taking off
The company intends to see growth in communications and networking as well as applied computing (otherwise known as the embedded market) and flash memory, said Craig Barrett, Intel's president and CEO.

'... We see little to no Y2K impact on our business. We also see no significant impact from the Taiwan quake.'
-- Sean Maloney, Intel senior VP


"We have a strong manufacturing and technology position (in flash)," he said. "We expect this business to grow very rapidly."

Flash memory, which stores data in memory chips, is used in a range of devices. It has taken off of late, due to its use in cellular phones.

While Intel has been producing flash memory for some time, it also intends to grow into new markets.

Intel recently announced IXA, or Intel Exchange Architecture, which it says will provide building blocks to develop network products, including devices such as routers or dedicated server appliance devices for secure socket layer acceleration or load balancing.

Intel will continue to make acquisitions to help build its product line here, Barrett said.

Its investment strategy will continue to grow as well, with added emphasis on international companies.

Jon - Regarding gorilla/king in the flash memory area -- try SanDisk - SNDK. Heaven only knows I've plugged EDIG enough over on that thread, so might as well give SNDK a plug here.<g>
