• 75% of TOP 500 'Supercomputers' Now Intel-based
  June 18, 2008
   
  The just released TOP 500 Supercomputing ranking list verifies that the wide majority of today's systems are based on Intel® multi-core processors and able to evaluate and calculate large volumes of data and complex algorithms very rapidly. 375 or 75 percent of the ranked supercomputers are based on Intel® processors -- more than ever before. In the year 2000, only four – yes four – systems were based on Intel architecture, illustrating just how rapidly the leading processor architecture for supercomputers has been embraced. Intel's push into quad-core based systems is also well represented.

• Intel's Multicore Processors and Robotics, Automation
  April 9, 2008
   
  During the international Hanover Fair in Germany (April 21- 25), Intel, along with Microsoft and Beckhoff Automation, will present on the potential of modern automation technology that Intel multicore processors can help bring to life. The live demonstration in the Application Park (Hall 17, Booth D26) takes place under the motto: "PC Control - Open Platform for Advanced Automation". While the PC is already one of the most flexible and powerful systems today, as processor power increases it could also someday control many other tasks in for programmable logic controllers, motion and human machine interfaces. This means that special functions, such as vision, robotics and measurement technology, which today are usually implemented as special hardware units, will soon become part of the ever-growing software PLC.
