Conference Highlights

In-Stat forums are a rare combination of breaking news, insightful analysis, and non-stop networking. MPF Fall draws the audience you want to reach most—the industry’s best.
Hear the first public disclosures of new microprocessors, DSPs, and related embedded technologies, presented by their chief architects.

Includes a full-day seminar on Monday (Oct. 9) on one of today’s hottest topics led by a Microprocessor Report award-winning analyst.

Leading organizations to present on PC processors, server processors, low-power embedded processors, consumer embedded, imaging DSPs, and on the challenges of advanced semiconductor design.

The PC was first introduced 25 years ago. Over that time microprocessor performance has grown at a tremendous rate. Over the last few years, power has grown rapidly too and it has become a major issue. The challenge today is how to deliver increased performance within existing power constraints. Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture has been able to achieve significant performance improvement over previous products while reducing power appreciably at the same time.

This talk will provide a historical perspective and cover some of the major innovations in the Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture including the advanced power management features. The talk will also cover some of the challenges for continued delivery of energy efficient performance and some of the techniques being explored.
