...Electrical Engineering students with an interest in computer application and they will tell you how much they're dying for the opportunity to design a microprocessor...
...Pentium microprocessor, representing Intel Corporation's determination to stay at the top of an increasingly competitive microprocessor market, was officially announced by the company late last month...
...battle between the two strategies appears to be won by the RISC side, as evidenced by the proliferation of RISC systems and RISC features included in the Pentium and the Motorola 68050, a chip still in development. Despite all the heat in the microprocessor industry, most users need not be concerned since many of the new systems will be able to run software written for rival machines...
...HARD TO TELL WHICH IS FASTER THESE DAYS, the speed of data as they pass through increasingly efficient chips or the speed of change in the personal- computer industry. Thanks largely to recent innovations in microprocessor technology, many of today's desktop machines are just as powerful as closet- size mainframes. The latest entry is the Pentium, a new chip developed by Intel that is almost as fast as some supercomputers. The chip, the size of a thumbnail, contains 3.1 million transistors. Not only does the Pentium -- which will be the "brain" of personal computers -- have plenty of giddyap...
