In depth report on the history of the x86 processor.

The eX5 server platform is the first to effectively "decouple" memory performance and capacity from the processor, enabling its memory capacity to scale up to six times other servers in its class.

Code optimizer that supports code for the IA-32 and x86-64 architectures which is used to optimize and auto-parallelize code generated by a compiler.

Manufacturer of x86 microprocessors. Also make chipsets, motherboards and network processors.

E2K microprocessor: postRISC parallel architecture claimed 2x faster than Merced. Has optimizing compiler. High security: supports data types in hardware, checks handling at run time.

Global supplier of integrated circuits for personal and networked computing and communications.
