Intel Expects Lower Revenue Because of Drive Shortage

The world’s largest maker of semiconductors expects quarterly earnings to fall to $13.7 billion, instead of an earlier forecast of $14.7 billion because of a shortage of disk drives, caused by floods in Thailand. With fewer drives, fewer PCs that need Intel chips are being built.

Spill Proof Salsa Bowl

Trying to get the maximum amount of salsa on your chips can be a delicate balancing act between angling the chip to load it up without spilling salsa out of the dip bowl (unless you had Spoon Shaped Nachos , of course). Salsa loving designers Tom Stewart and Michael Charley decided to do something about it and created the Salsabol (no relation to Manute), a spill proof salsa bowl

Intel providing 22nm fabrication capacity to semiconductor start-up

Well, there sure are interesting things afoot in the land of Intel these days. Just last month the chipmaker announced a $6 to $8 billion dollar investment in factory upgrades to push ahead with hits 22nm manufacturing process , and it’s now announced that its struck a first of its kind deal with upstart semiconductor company Achronix. That deal involves Intel actually giving Achronix access to its 22nm fab process, which Achronix will use to manufacture its 22i Speedster FPGAs (said to boast a 300% higher performance and 50% lower power than FPGAs using any other process technology).
