Foveon to introduce new camera chip

Article Abstract:

Carver Mead's company, Foveon Inc. is introducing a development for sensors constructed using a complementary metal oxide semiconductor, offering a price advantage over digital cameras using charge-couple devices. The chip will offer 3 times the resolution of any prior digital camera technology with a 16-megapixel chip, available to consumers early next year.

Intel to trot out next chip generation; high speed and low price are surprise

Article Abstract:

Intel debuts it Pentium Pro microprocessor line highlighting high speed models at unexpectedly low prices. Some models featuring the CPU will be priced as low as $1,000. The new line is targeted at technical workstations and server computers as Intel moves into the low-price workstation market. The low prices reflect Intel's finely tuned manufacturing process. Despite its success in the PC market, Intel has not been able to leave a strong impression in the workstation market. Sun and other competitors in the workstation market are already planning to release chips to compete with the Pentium Pro. The new chip is expected to perform well in the server market, particularly servers using multiple chips. Intel is also actively investing in associated hardware and software to boost the company's influence.

Intel mounts response to sub-$1,000 PC pressure

Article Abstract:

Intel will introduce a code-named Mendocino line of its Celeron microprocessor chips on Aug 24, 1998, in an effort to reassert its market share in the sub-$1,000 PC segment. The company refused to offer specifics on the new Intel Celeron chips, which target systems that cost approximately $900. The new chips should be priced between $139 and $179 for PC manufacturers, according to Piper Jaffray. Some analysts believe the growing sub-$1,000 PC market pressure will intensify against Intel, whose usual chip pricing costs far above $500. The price reductions accompany earnings problems announced earlier in Aug 1998 by National Semiconductor, LSI Logic and Analog Devices. Other analysts are more optimistic about the semiconductor market, saying manufacturing technology developments can help vendors lower costs quickly. Intel also is introducing a high-end Pentium II line version to offset lower profits on its new and inexpensive products.
