Intel remains synonymous in many peoples’ minds with terms such as "microprocessor" and "innovation." Its constant barrage of television ads, often capped with that distinctive "dum-da-DUM" jingle, has made it one of the few technology companies that your average American can actually name. Over its several decades of existence, Intel has developed the computational architecture underlying everything from arcade games and industrial electronics to the PC sitting on your desk. Although many people know the terms "Pentium" and "Intel Inside," they may not realize that the company’s innovations extend beyond powering laptops and desktops. In recent years, Intel’s researchers have focused on everything from the ultra-wired home and more efficient cloud computing to robot butlers. The tablet PC and mobile markets are also firmly in the company’s sights, as it seeks to leverage recent trends in those areas. The following slides detail 25 things about Intel’s history and current workings: from the historic to the totally obscure. – …

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 18, 2010 – Intel Corporation’s storage division has recently added new major wins with five storage vendors, illustrating the company’s momentum around developing advanced integrated storage features and capabilities.
Since Intel began targeting Intel® Xeon® processor-based storage systems for the enterprise storage market, the company has seen strong momentum toward the use of the efficient, scalable and innovative Intel® architecture (IA)-designed solutions for the most demanding, data-intensive storage needs in the datacenter.
“We’ve worked to forge strong relationships with major storage industry vendors over the years, collaborating with them to develop innovative and powerful Xeon processor technologies,” said David Tuhy, general manager, Intel Storage Group. “We expect significant innovation in the storage market and are pursuing next-generation IA architectures to support the dramatic growth of digital content.”
The explosion of data growth and the resulting management complexities are driving the industry to deliver a wide offering of storage automation and management solutions that take advantage of Intel’s popular processor line.
The list of industry storage vendors offering enterprise storage systems based on the Intel Xeon processor family includes EMC*, Hitachi Data Systems*, HP*, IBM*, Isilon*, NetApp*, Oracle* and PROMISE Technology*.
In September, Hitachi launched the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), which includes quad-core Intel Xeon processors in combination with Hitachi storage design and input/output (I/O) management, for efficient data management in virtualized environments. This solution joins the Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS) 2000 family and the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), which both also utilize Intel Xeon processors.
Announced in early October, IBM’s Storwize V7000 midrange storage systems incorporate the Intel® Xeon® C5500/C3500 processor in a compact modular design. IBM also announced its IBM Scale Out NAS (SONAS) product in February, which utilizes Intel Xeon C5500 processors and is designed to provide a clustered NAS system for Common Internet File System (CIFS), Network File System (NFS) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services.
NetApp’s new FAS/V6200 series and FAS/V3200 series launched this month, based on the Intel Xeon 5600 series processor, help customers meet their business requirements while responding to the rapid growth and pace of their business. These new storage systems double the performance of previous models, and are capable of delivering greater scalability, availability and expandability. They also help customers make the transition to a more flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure — the foundation for cloud computing.
In September, Oracle announced its next-generation Sun ZFS Storage Appliance product line using Intel® Xeon® 5600 and 7500 processors that combine performance, density and storage analytics with an innovative storage architecture and easy deployment and use.
PROMISE Technology announced its VTrak Ex30 Series enterprise-class storage systems earlier this month and has reported a 4x performance gain in its products by incorporating the Intel Xeon C5500/C3500 processors.

Screenshot from WePC.com, a new and expanded community now open to anyone with a passion for technology, especially ASUS products with Intel inside.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 18, 2010 – A new and expanded WePC community launched today and is open to anyone with a passion for technology, especially ASUS products with Intel Inside®. Building on its mission to bridge innovation and technology with consumers’ needs, the new WePC.com has more ways for fans to present their ideas, interact with community members and drive product development for two of the world’s leading technology brands.
As one of the first crowdsourcing communities, WePC.com empowered members to play an integral role in the PC design process of a number of cutting-edge technologies, such as intuitive touchscreen interfaces and kid-friendly netbooks. Last year at CeBIT, ASUS initiated the industry’s first dual-panel concept notebooks, making intuitive control possible. The community also supported the direction for the development of future pad devices.
“We’ve experienced firsthand the power of our customers’ creativity in helping us build ground-breaking products that address their unique needs,” said Christine Yang, WePC community manager. “Our expanded community platform creates a ‘technology playground’ that gives consumers the chance to spark conversations and ideas for a wider range of technology offerings. Here, they can connect with us and each other in an engaging way.”
The community features sections that are tailored to members’ diverse interests, such as those who value impeccable sound quality in high-fidelity home entertainment computers. Another section is geared toward serious multitaskers and “early adopters” interested in the evolving technology for pad devices. A third area is designed for parents who want to share information about how technology works in both their kids’ lives and family life.
“We truly believe that having an active dialogue with our customers will help us deliver the highest quality products in partnership with ASUS,” said Katie Wallace, campaign manager, Intel Partner Marketing Group. “What matters to our biggest fans is important to us, so we’ve enhanced the community to give them more of what they want—a cool place where they can share ideas on current products, connect with others who are equally excited about technology and voice their opinions on what’s coming next.”
The new community enlivens members’ experiences by offering challenges, contests and even more ways to participate. Fans can also join the conversation when they’re on Facebook, since the WePC Facebook page complements the WePC community with related features and functionality.
In addition, WePC members who want to be more actively involved can apply to be part of an exclusive group that will play an integral role as the community grows and receive special perks, such as direct access to ASUS and Intel, unique product testing opportunities and exclusive events.
WePC was developed in 2008 through collaboration between ASUS, an award-winning leader in PC hardware design, and Intel, a leader in silicon innovation.
