Intel and AMD now both provide optimized math libraries that use SIMD instructions, and open source alternatives like libSIMD, SIMDx86 and SLEEF have started to appear.

Since the mid 1990s, several competitors ( e. g., Siemens AG ( later Infineon Technologies AG, now Intel mobile communications ), NEC, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics ( formerly SGS-Thomson ), Motorola ( later Freescale ), Intersil, etc.

However, Wintel is now commonly used to refer to a system running a modern Microsoft operating system on any modern x86 compatible CPU, manufactured by either Intel or AMD.

The follow-on 1997 Cyrix-Intel litigation was the reverse: instead of Intel claiming that Cyrix 486 chips violated their patents, now Cyrix claimed that Intel's Pentium Pro and Pentium II violated Cyrix patents — in particular, power management and register renaming techniques.

Intel and Cyrix now had full and free access to each other's patents.

Because of the philosophy change, Intel now faces the challenge of making consumers compare its processors based on the PR system rather than raw clock speed, ironically a problem which Intel created itself.

He is now Chief Graphics Software Architect at Intel.

Numerous high-tech companies and start-ups have moved into the industrial zones of Petah Tikva, which now house the Israeli headquarters for the Oracle Corporation, IBM, Intel, Alcatel-Lucent, ECI Telecom, and GlaxoSmithKline Pharmecuticals.

* Westinghouse Science Talent Search, now called Intel Science Talent Search, an American science competition for high school students

The Intel 8088 and 8086 were the first CPUs to have an instruction set that is now commonly referred to as x86.

The line is being continued with X130e now consists of both AMD E-series and Intel i3-series based versions.

Following Apple ’ s transition to using Intel processors exclusively in their Macintosh line of computers, Yellow Dog Linux has now been retargeted to support the Sony PlayStation 3 and IBM pSeries platforms extensively, while retaining its longstanding support for PowerPC-based Apple hardware.

In January 2006, Josh Melnick and Xander Charity, who had produced the " Such Great Heights " music video, created a commercial for Apple Computer ( now Apple Inc .) and Intel using similar footage.

LSI, Adaptec, and ATTO currently offer PCIe SCSI adapters which fit in new Apple Mac, on Intel PCs, and low-profile motherboards from companies like HP ( which now lack SCSI support due to the inclusion of SAS and / or SATA connectivity ).

The technology infrastructure at MP3. com consisted of over 1500 simple Intel based servers running Red Hat Linux ( versions 5. 2 – 7. 2 ) in load balanced clusters in data centers run by AT & T, Worldcom and the now defunct Exodus Communications.

New features in Kanotix-Dragonfire are: booting from / with DVD, USB, UEFI ( PCs, Intel Macs ), an embedded USB-Stick ImageWriter for Mac OS X and the USB-Stick with Hybrid-ISO can now be made persistent from the live-system.

* Wind River Systems, an embedded systems software company ( now owned by Intel )

This was known as Silvervale technology during development, and is now called Intel Virtualization Technology.

Virtutech was acquired by Intel in 2010 and Simics is now marketed through Intel's subsidiary Wind River Systems.

The resulting new company has approximately 3, 500 employees and now operates as Intel Mobile Communications ( IMC ).

The main bridging interfaces used now are DMI ( Intel ) and UMI ( AMD ).

The last desktop model that used the G4 was the Mac Mini which now comes with an Intel processor.

* XOM, former open-source project to make Windows XP or Windows Vista run on Intel Macintosh computers, now superseded by Apple's official Boot Camp solution

As hardware prices fell in the late 1990s, and Intel shifted their server focus to the Itanium processor family, Sequent joined the Project Monterey effort in October 1998. which aimed to move a standard Unix to several new platforms.

The PCjr's 4. 77 MHz Intel 8088 CPU was faster than other computers aimed at the home market, though the PCjr did not run at the full rated 4. 77 MHz because every 4th clock cycle of the 8088 CPU was designated to refresh the PCjr's dynamic RAM as it had no dedicated memory controller ; the computer's effective clockspeed was therefore 3. 58MHz.

When Intel designed the 8087, it aimed to make a standard floating-point format for future designs.

Pentium was aimed at large computers as well as PCs, so Intel engineers had to envision how it would fit in those various systems.

OpenCV ( Open Source Computer Vision Library ) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision, developed by Intel, and now supported by Willow Garage and Itseez.

Intel received a grant of $ 525 million from the Israeli government to build the plant.

It also supports Project Snapshots, which provide a basic form of version control ; Message Bubbles, which show build errors debug values alongside code ; and building four-architecture fat binaries ( 32 and 64-bit Intel and PowerPC ).

Tolerant Systems was a company founded in 1983 by Eli Alon and Dale Shipley ( both from Intel ) to build fault-tolerant computer systems based on the idea of " shoe-box " building blocks.

BiiN was a company created out of a joint research project by Intel and Siemens to develop fault tolerant high-performance multi-processor computers build on custom microprocessor designs.

This build includes Apple's Rosetta — a translation process that allows Intel processor versions of the OS to run PPC software with little penalty.

Intel decided in 1989 to build its European manufacturing operations in Leixlip, County Kildare, and formed Intel Ireland to be the holding company.

In order to diversify into other markets, a second design team was started under Paul Nixon in Austin, TX to build a BiCMOS Intel x86 processor.

Higher-end workstations still use more sophisticated CPUs such as the modern iterations of the Intel Xeon, AMD Opteron, IBM POWER, or Sun UltraSPARC CPUs, and typically run a variant of Unix, often allowing these machines to still focus on one area of expertise extensively.

To make maximum use of extended memory on Intel 80386 processors, by transforming it into expanded memory and upper memory blocks ( UMBs ) accessible to DESQview and other real-mode programs, Quarterdeck developed a sophisticated memory manager.

The Intel 8080 microprocessors in these terminals made them capable of executing programs locally, much like today's Java applets and ActiveX controls, and allowed small software modules to be downloaded into the terminal to augment to the PLATO courseware with rich animation and other sophisticated capabilities that were not available otherwise using a traditional terminal-based approach.

Design of the device started by DEC, but was only partially complete when acquired by Intel, who had to finish the design.

A complete ABI, such as the Intel Binary Compatibility Standard ( iBCS ), allows a program from one operating system supporting that ABI to run without modifications on any other such system, provided that necessary shared libraries are present, and similar prerequisites are fulfilled.

A downside compared to similar contemporary designs ( such as the Z80 ) was the fact that the buses required demultiplexing ; however, address latches in the Intel 8155, 8355, and 8755 memory chips allowed a direct interface, so an 8085 along with these chips was almost a complete system.

The 8085 CPU was only one part of a much larger family of chips developed by Intel, for building a complete system.

Intel released a cost-reduced processor, the 80486SX, that had no floating point hardware, and also sold an 80487SX co-processor that essentially disabled the main processor when installed, since the 80487SX was a complete 80486DX with a different set of pin connections.

While selective flushing of the TLB is an option in software managed TLBs, the only option in some hardware TLBs ( for example, the TLB in the Intel 80386 ) is the complete flushing of the TLB on a context switch.

All MSE Students are required to complete a Science fair project ( many have been selected to compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair ), and to take two engineering classes at Florida Atlantic University's Engineering Scholars ' Program, a Florida Governor's Summer Program of Excellence.

Eumel grew into a complete multi-tasking, multi-user operating system supporting orthogonal persistence, which started shipping in 1980 and was later ported to Zilog Z8000, Motorola 68000 and Intel 8086 processors.
