"A developer conference this week will see the chipmaker elaborate on its research into PC fundamentals

Intel will give a glimpse of what the insides of computers might look like in a few years when it presents research results at the International Solid State Circuits Conference.

Researchers from the chipmaker will present papers at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) this week in San Francisco that will describe, among other projects, a low-power, high-speed arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that can run both 32-bit and 64-bit code, which in turn could allow the company to make Pentium-class chips that could run both types of software. The ALU churns calculations with whole numbers instead of decimals."
