SAN FRANCISCO — With the semiconductor industry in its deepest recession in 28 years, there is still room for hope, optimism, even humor, suggested Intel Corp. chief executive officer Craig Barrett at the opening of the Intel Developers Forum here Monday (Feb. 25).

"The only way to get out of the recession is with new products, products that get the consumer interested," said the head of the world's largest semiconductor company.

Barrett presented a Pentium 4-based computer graphics machine as an example of a product likely to stimulate consumer demand. Special effects software devised by Intel subsidiary RealViz showed Barrett snowboarding across the roof of a San Francisco Muni light-rail train as it departed from the Embarcadero station.
