Welcome to Intel!

Intel microprocessors are providing the computing power for new interactive multimedia services for business, home, entertainment and education. Intel products allow people throughout the world to communicate more quickly, share information more completely, and accomplish more than ever before.

If you have any comments about the Briefings, please let us know what you think.

PENTIUM PROCESSOR

There is a new source of computing power. It's capable of executing two instructions at once. It's produced processing speeds over 100 MIPS. It's the next generation of compatible power. It's called the Pentium processor. And this brief will tell you how its technology is making PCs run faster today.

PCI LOCAL BUS

This Technology Briefing will tell you about a new local bus technology--PCI. Jointly developed by Intel and other industry leaders, it's designed for current and next-generation PCs. PCI picks up where today's bus architectures leave off, providing greater system performance via a wider data path and increased expandability.

PENTIUM PROCESSOR SYSTEMS

If you want top performance the top-performing processor: the Pentium processor from Intel. But if you want a truly exceptional PC, don't stop there. Today's best PCs are well-balanced systems with each component optimized to take full advantage of the processor's capabilities, highly tuned and working together to give you the best possible system performance. In this Brief, you'll learn what elements make a great PC.

THE INTEL ARCHITECTURE

During the past 15 years, generations of processors. So what's next? This technology briefing will discuss how Intel is delivering faster processors with less time between generations by combining the Intel Architecture with innovative design and manufacturing techniques. We'll even look at our new processor, code named "P6," available in 1995.

INDEO TECHNOLOGY

Indeo video is a digital video recording format. It turns your PC into a video player, so you can view training tapes, recorded interviews and other digital "movies." With the appropriate hardware, it also turns your PC into a video recorder. In this brief, you'll learn about the technology behind the motion.

PLUG AND PLAY

Since add-in cards first appeared over a decade ago, they've given users a lot of different ways to improve their PCs and given them a lot of installation headaches. In this brief, we'll tell you how Intel, together with industry leaders, has spent years developing Plug and Play technology to make add-in cards both easier to use and install.

MANUFACTURING

Processor manufacturing is a highly complex process involving many steps, beginning with design and ending with final testing. In this Technology Briefing, we'll examine the wafer fabrication process and show you how we construct the Pentium processor from the ground up.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

At Intel, we've become experts at measuring PC performance. The reason for this is quite simple. We need ways to accurately measure performance in order for our engineers to develop faster processors. That's why we've worked with other companies in the industry to develop measurement tools. You can use these same to choose the right PC.
