Inside Intel

Man...

I was all excited about this "insider's look" into the "behind-the-scenes" happenings in the silicone industry, but it looks like this is really just some company that makes computers or something. Man...

Not even a single supermodel or anything! :(

Misconception

"The name Intel is synonymous with silicon"

No, it's synonymous with silicom.999999999999

doesn't everyone just breakdance in radiation suits all day?

They left off two

Initially there were two other focus areas for the R&D team,
but that was before they decided to get rid of the dancing guys
in the shiny bunny outfits.

1)Performance
2)Power
3)Integrity
4)Functionality
5)Tools and Methods
6)Originality
7)Choreography

My favorite picture

is the picture of the 10 GHz ALU test screen here [anandtech.com]. I just like the way they have the Windows Calculator next to the test screen, in order to check whether 2147483646 + 1 really is equal to 2147483647.

Where do I sign up?

The types of tests run in the CV labs range from network tests to playing games (which seemed to gather the majority of the CV engineers).

All I gots to say is how do I become a CV Engineer. Getting payed to "test" the stability of chips during games.

Uhh, no I dont think 20 hours of straight counter-strike is rigorous enough, we should do at least 20 more, for quality purpouses.

No, seriously I need a job!

Wireless?

hrm...I've always been somewhat skeptical of Intel's "wireless" products, and I guess I had good reason to be:

Intel's campus alone is entirely wired for wireless internet access for their employees.

You just got to love all those wires for the wireless network =)
