Intel eyes chip tech leaders Company president Barrett is keen on Rambus infrastructure, Microsoft 2000 February 28, 2000: 3:58 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The chip technology of Rambus represents the next generation of technology, said Craig Barrett, president and chief executive officer of Intel when he appeared on CNNfn. Rambus (RMBS: Research, Estimates) develops technology that enables memory chips to keep pace with faster generations of processors, and despite some autumn bugs in the system, Intel remains positive about its potential for the future. Rambus brings "more capability to the platform, more memory address ability, [and] higher bandwidth into the processor. So we'll continue to work with that technology," said Barrett on In the Money on Monday. "And I'm sure there will be a technology that follows that one. But right now, our Dram looks like it's the generation of memory technology." For more on Barrett's comments on Rambus click (WAV) 264KB or (AIF) 264KB Rambus is supplying the technology to Intel for its anticipated 820 chipset. Chipsets provide basic functions for such devices as modems or a computer's central processor. Barrett also talked about the outlook for Windows 2000, Microsoft's latest operating system for business computers. "I think you should expect to see Windows [2000] accepted readily by many corporations especially in the area of servers and networks," said Barrett. "The increased reliability and capability ... of that particular operating system should allow Microsoft and their Windows technology to push upscale [into an] area where they had some difficulty in penetrating in the past," said Barrett. "And that should help us because Intel architecture and the Windows technology ride very closely together." Barrett also said that demand for chips continue to be strong, with sales for 1999 much higher than the industry had expected. Intel (INTC: Research, Estimates) is rolling out new products as part of the Pentium III processor family in addition to 64-bit chip products later this year. "The external forecast for year 2000 or for another year is in the 15 to 18 percent growth in units across the world. And that's fairly close to the historical growth rate. So, where as I hear many comments about the post-PC era, I see anything but that when I look at the numbers," said Barrett. (WAV) 264KB or (AIF) 264KB cnnfn.com
