Intel First Quarter 2007 Earnings Call

April 28, 2007

Intel's prices have held up well. Since the launch of Core-based microprocessors in 2006, Intel started to see the processors "differentiate themselves from the competitor".

AMD First Quarter 2007 Earnings Call

April 27, 2007

It may seem odd that AMD should guide upward for Q2 and beyond after such a terrible quarter. However, AMD puts the quarter in the context of the previous four years in which the company went through "14 consecutive quarters of gaining share in the CPU business".

Penryn

April 17, 2007

Penryn is more than one thing. It is the next-generation "Core 2 Family processor microarchitecture". It's also "the industry's first 45 nm microprocessor". Penryn performs more work per clock than Core 2 Duo. It is thus "an improvement on the Core Microarchitecture introduced last year".

Fab 68

March 28, 2007

The fab that Intel intends to build in China may not be state of the art, but then it won't be 200mm either. Instead the size of the wafers shall be 300mm. In other respects, the fab will not be state of the art.
