65nm manufacturing process: The world’s most advanced 65nm manufacturing process by Intel is on track for delivery in 2005. The process represents a significant step toward extending Moore’s Law and is expected to allow the company to deliver chips with greater capabilities and performance. The transistors built on Intel’s 65nm technology have the best performance versus leakage characteristics in the world. This improves transistor performance without significantly increasing leakage. Intel's 65 nm technology has a number of new or enhanced power saving features, including second generation strained silicon and sleep transistors, that could help reduce the power consumption of future chips.
Vanderpool Technology (VT): VT is a set of hardware enhancements to the processor and chipset that help improve the resilience and reliability of the platform. It is expected to deliver a more manageable office computing environment. When combined with the appropriate software, VT enables multiple, independent software environments (called partitions) inside a single PC. Similar to the way mainframe class systems operate. VT is aimed at improving the end-user experience by increasing system reliability, flexibility and responsiveness, as well as speeding the ability to recover from computer crashes.
Multi-core Technology: Multi-core technology will enable capabilities like better user interfaces, virus and security protection, and overall improved efficiency and performance. Multi-core technology also allows developers to take advantage of existing resources and tools to provide new and innovative benefits for end-users.
Digital Office: To meet the changing workloads and user needs, Intel and the industry are working on developing entire platform solutions with features, technologies, well-tested software tools, operating systems and applications to meet end-user needs that are validated to properly work together. One such example is Intel’s plan to deliver multi-core processors across various product lines including a forthcoming Intel dual-core processor for desktop PCs in 2005.
Intel Active Management Technology: The Intel Active Management Technology is designed to manage information across a variety of platforms, from handheld communications devices to servers. This technology will allow improved management of computing assets by IT managers. It frees IT managers from the current situation where about 80 percent of IT budgets are spent on managing assets rather than developing and implementing innovative solutions that improve worker productivity and efficiency.
