Intel Releases Itanium Processor Microarchitecture Details On the Internet SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2000--Intel Corporation today released the Itanium(TM) Processor Microarchitecture Reference, a guide for software developers that details the functional behavior of Intel's forthcoming Itanium microprocessor. The Itanium processor is the first in a family of IA-64 processors from Intel, and the most significant new development in Intel microprocessor architecture since the 386 processor was introduced in 1985. Intel is taking the unprecedented step of releasing Itanium microarchitecture details on the Internet to broaden the availability of highly optimized software for the new processor. The IA-64 architecture is based on a new approach called EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) that goes beyond RISC and CISC, pairing massive processing resources with intelligent compilers that make parallel execution explicit to the processor. The Microarchitecture Reference provides details that help developers of compilers and related software tools take full advantage of IA-64. ``Intel and the industry have been conducting one of the most comprehensive enabling programs in history to deliver optimized IA-64 software and hardware solutions in parallel,'' said Ron Curry, director of IA-64 marketing. ``The Internet gives us a great way to tap into the expertise of the broad developer community.'' Elements of the IA-64 software enabling program include distributing thousands of prototype servers and workstations to developers, the creation of ``Net farms'' that allow IA-64 programs to be tested on prototype systems over Internet connections, and the early release of technical information and development tools. A wide range of industry operating systems are now running on pre-production Itanium processor based systems, including 64-bit Windows(a) 2000, IA-64 Linux, Project Monterey, Novell Modesto and HP-UX. Systems and software based on the Itanium processor are scheduled to be in production beginning in the second half of 2000. The Itanium Processor Microarchitecture Reference is available now at developer.intel.com. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.

What do you think the most underrated information is? (I'd say SEC filings and talking with investor relations.) And I'm sure that I am sometimes naive about the market, I'm just never sure when. I've only been investing for two years, but been watching/learning/studying for a bit longer. Tom
