Intel Will Not Enable 64-Bits in Existing Prescott Cores

Intel's senior management made their yearly trek to midtown Manhattan on May 13th to brief a large group of financial and technology analysts on the state of its current business, and convey product strategies for the next few years. CEO Craig Barrett, President/COO Paul Otellini, EVP/GM Sean Maloney, and EVP/CFO Andy Bryant delivering Intel's state of the union at a packed Equitable Center auditorium. Barrett kicked off the event reviewing Intel's core competencies of manufacturing and technology, digital architectures for computing and communications, worldwide sales, marketing, and branding, and the Intel Capital group, that financially kick-starts the ecosystem surrounding major Intel product areas.

Barrett stressed the worldwide nature of Intel's business, citing over 70% of Intel's business is transacted out of the United States, with the percentage growing each year. Convergence between computing, communications, and rich content was another major theme. Barrett view of rich content doesn't relate only to audio and video data, but also to business processes and B-to-B commerce transacted over the Internet.

Barrett noted the steep ramp of total microprocessor market volume (Intel and others) from the mid 90's through the year 2000 to $30+ billion, but the market crashed in 2001, and 2004 volume will match or slightly exceed the year 2000 numbers. We'll see steady growth in 2005, especially in the mobile processor arena. The worldwide communications silicon market (chips for communications devices) followed a similar trend, but with a much steeper growth curve from 2002-2004, nearing $60B in 2004, and $70B in 2005. This is largely driven by increases in the number of Internet users, business uses of the Internet, and broadband growth in Asia. Aside from the strong recovery of the microprocessor business for existing applications and markets, Barrett emphasized new areas that will be coming on strong, including the digital home, wireless broadband, life sciences, massive database processing/analysis, optical communication links, and proactive computing. In the area of life sciences, Barrett noted that disease diagnostics can take immense processing power, and now with transistor sizes roughly the size of viruses and proteins, we can build much more effective tools to analyze the nature of such organic species and structures for early disease detection and treatment.
