Intel Development centers

[German Muscle]

i think i saw this somewhere a while back where intel rotates through certain development centers for chips. They dont use them back to back. I cant remember which ones made what chips and how the cycle goes. Any help?

NetBurst - USA; Core - Israel; Nehalem - USA; Sandy Bridge - Israel; Haswell - USA.

Pretty much USA focused on increasing performance, Israel on lowering power consumption.

Yea that is funny because the difference between the Intel® Pentium® 4 and D and the Intel Core™ 2 Duo and Quard was one of the biggest performance upgrades in both power and performance that we have ever had.

To this day, I still don't see how back then NetBurst won out over a 're-design' of the Pentium 3 (which eventually became the Pentium M/Core)

Because Northwood was the one that managed to get a LOT of performance improvements. Prescott had some serious design issues, like not enough execution units to actually DO the work, that is why performance barely improved, mostly due to clock, but power usage was increased.

This happened before I was working for Intel® so I don't have an answer to this one.
