Japanese PC Sales Brisk in the First Week of May May 28, 2001 (TOKYO) -- During the first week of May, which fell in the latter half of Japan's Golden Week holidays, sales volumes of both desktop PCs and notebook PCs gained largely. The PC sales in the first week of May 2001 (April 30 - May 6, 2001) increased 53.3 percent in units and 53.2 percent in value from the previous week. Compared to the same period last year (May 1-7, 2000), sales increased 12.1 percent in units and 10.8 percent in value. The average sales price dropped by 145 yen to 187,329 yen from 187,474 yen in the previous week. Notebook PC sales marked the third-highest record to date, following the first week of January and the forth week of March this year. During Golden Week, stores tried to pull customers by holding campaigns such like as selling a limited amount of products at special prices, and sold more than the previous year in volume. However, the business stays brisk only temporarily and the backlash of sales after the holidays is unavoidable. The results are according to the survey conducted by GfK Japan Ltd., an information service company which handles POS data of 3,200 large-volume retail stores of home appliances.

Paul re: in the 8086 and 80286 - where AMD pretty much copied Intel EXACTLY - until Intel wised up. and when intel wised up amd beat it at 386 :-)) If intel would wise up like that few more times they would be ....... really wise and poor ? Regards -Albert

Intel Itanium-Based Systems Poised for Production Manufacturers to Ship First Systems in June Servers and Workstations From 25 Companies Expected This Year SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2001--Computer manufacturers are expected to introduce initial Intel® Itanium(TM)-based servers and workstations in June, Intel Corporation said today. The company expects approximately 25 computer manufacturers to offer more than 35 models this year, as hundreds of hardware, software and application vendors provide products that support Itanium-based systems. Targeted at the most demanding enterprise and high-performance computing applications, the Itanium processor is the first in a family of 64-bit products from Intel. The Itanium processor's Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) design enables breakthrough capabilities in processing terabytes of data, speeding protected online purchases and transactions, and processing complex computations. These features address the growing needs for data communications, storage, analysis and security while providing performance, scalability and reliability advantages at significantly lower costs than proprietary offerings. Application segments include large databases, data-mining, e-Commerce security transactions and mechanical computer-aided engineering, as well as high-performance and scientific computing. Four operating systems will support Itanium-based systems, including the Microsoft Windows* platform (64-bit Edition* for workstations and 64-bit Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition 2002* for servers); Hewlett Packard's HP-UX 11i v1.5(a), IBM's AIX-5L(a) and Linux. Caldera International, Red Hat, SuSE Linux and Turbolinux plan to provide 64-bit versions of the Linux operating system. Itanium-based systems deliver world-class performance and reliability through a number of product and architectural innovations. For example, database and data-mining applications used by corporations and online stores can take advantage of the large cache memory, 64-bit addressability and the EPIC technology's ability to execute more operations simultaneously to speed data queries and transactions for up to 16 terabytes of data. The Itanium processor's floating point engine enables industry-leading performance for complex computations such as those required by data-mining, scientific and technical computing applications. According to independent testing results, Itanium-based systems can provide up to a twelve-fold performance improvement for online security transactions over proprietary RISC designs**. The Itanium Architecture also includes unique reliability features via its Enhanced Machine Check Architecture, enabling error detection, correction and logging as well as Error-Correcting Code (ECC) and parity checking features. Itanium processors will feature 2 and 4 MB of L3 cache and 800 and 733 MHz frequency speeds at prices ranging from $1,177 to $4,227. 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.
