Seminars highlight PC processors and info appliances
Feb. 05, 2001

Sunnyvale, CA -- (press release excerpt) -- an inside look at today's top PC processors and an in-depth look into information appliances are the subjects of two half-day Microprocessor Report seminars to be presented March 15 in Santa Clara, California by MicroDesign Resources (MDR), publishers of Microprocessor Report.

"Inside Today's PC Processors: Architectures, Microarchitectures, and Performance" will be presented from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. by Kevin Krewell, senior analyst, Microprocessor Report, and editor, Microprocessor Watch. The seminar will provide an inside look at microarchitectures, bus and cache architectures, and performance for the most important PC processors, including insightful analyses of Intel's Pentium 4, Pentium III, and Celeron; AMD's Athlon (including Palomino) and Duron; VIA's Cyrix III; Motorola's PowerPC G4; and Transmeta's Crusoe.

Steve Leibson, vice president and chief analyst at MicroDesign Resources, and program director of the Microprocessor Forum and Embedded Processor Forum, will present "Information Appliances: Technology and Architectures" from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mr. Leibson will explore the motivations behind information appliances and the reasons why they may succeed -- or fail -- in competition with PCs. Examples of emerging information appliances -- including TV set-top boxes, Web terminals, screen phones, handheld computers, digital cameras, image viewers, and digital music players -- will be presented, along with block diagrams and evaluations of their technical and market challenges. The seminar will also survey key enabling technologies for information appliances.

The seminars will be followed by an evening program wherein Chuck Gwyn, Program Director, EUV LLC, will present "Next-Generation Lithography for Manufacturing Microprocessors."

The seminars and evening program will be presented March 15 at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara. Each seminar is priced at $595, or $895 for both ($950 including the evening program).
