Intel plans to add 30 new versions of microprocessors
Article Abstract:
Intel Corp will produce as many as 30 new microprocessor products. By the end of 1992, Intel is expected to have a product line that includes about 40 kinds of 80386SL and 80486 chips. There are about nine kinds now. Intel is hard pressed by its competition. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel's rival, has been doing well by offering chips that require less power and run faster. Among Intel's new products, there wiill be releases will be two versions of the chip code-named P-5, which are next-generation microprocessors that will run more than two times faster than the fastest 80486 microprocessor. The wider variety of Intel products should appeal to microcomputer makers because of their wish to set their machines apart by using more divergent microprocessors.

Advanced Micro seeks a chip off its own block
Article Abstract:
Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) is developing a family of microprocessors with an original design, which can run software written for Intel Corp's chips. AMD has been doing well manufacturing clones of Intel's products, but this has led to legal complications involving Intel's copyrights. Legal battles over this issue have been ongoing between the companies for many years. AMD's CEO, W.J. Sanders III, says his company's chips, code named K-5, will use a design that is unrelated to the contested copyrights. The new chips are expected late in 1994. Sanders says his company's long-term strategy is to be independent of Intel's architecture.
