- "UPDATE
4-Intel profit up, but capacity tight and shares sag."
... "Intel Corp. (INTC.O: Quote,
Profile,
Research),
the world's largest maker of computer chips, on Tuesday posted a 16 percent
rise in net profit helped by notebook computer demand, but production constraints
prevented the results from exceeding expectations, and shares fell 4 percent."
... "Net income in the second quarter rose to $2.03 billion, or 33 cents
per diluted share, from $1.76 billion, or 27 cents per diluted share in
the year-earlier quarter, and revenue rose to $9.2 billion from $8.0 billion."

- "Advanced
Micro Sues Intel Over Customer `Coercion' (Update8)."
... "Advanced Micro Devices Inc. sued Intel Corp., claiming Intel cemented
its dominance of the computer-chip market by coercing and threatening dozens
of customers." ... "Intel used ``old-fashioned threats, intimidations and
`knee- capping''' to persuade 38 companies including Dell Inc., Sony Corp.
and Toshiba Corp. to exclude Advance Micro chips from their computers,
Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro said in the lawsuit filed in
Delaware court yesterday." ... "Advanced Micro said the tactics cost it
billions of dollars and kept its share of the market to less than 16 percent,
while Intel claims more than 80 percent. Intel's sales practices raised
concern in Japan, where the Fair Trade Commission ruled that Intel broke
the law by offering discounts to PC makers if they agreed to limit their
business with rivals." -By Angus Whitley

- "Intel
Says 1st-Qtr Profit Almost Doubled, Sales Rise (Update2)."
... "Intel Corp., the world's biggest semiconductor maker, said first-quarter
net income almost doubled to $1.73 billion as customers accelerated purchases
of new computers." ... "Net income was 26 cents a share, compared with
14 cents a year earlier, Santa Clara, California-based Intel said in a
statement. Sales rose 20 percent to $8.1 billion." -By

- "Intel's
sights on lip-reading software: Intel has released
software that lets computers read lips, a step forward that could lead
to better voice recognition applications." ... "The Audio Visual Speech
Recognition (AVSR) software tracks a speaker's face and mouth movements.
By matching these movements with speech, the application can provide a
computer with enough data to respond to voice recognition commands, even
when these are given in noisy environments. The AVSR program is part of
the OpenCV computer vision library, a collection of open-source applications
and tools that help computers interpret visual data." -By

- "Intel
gives away lip-reading speech recognition code."
... "Intel has released lip-reading visual speech recognition software
under an open source licence." ... "Called Audio Visual Speech Recognition
(AVSR), the software is part of Intel's OpenCV computer vision and facial
recognition code library. Essentially, it tracks the speaker's mouth movements
as individual character and syllable sounds are formed. Intel reckons the
technique to be far more accurate than traditional speech recognition algorithms,
which analyse sounds rather than images." -By Tony

- "Intel's
$10 Billion Gamble: Tech's ailing, yet the
chip king is opening plants and entering new markets. Its bet: that no
competitor can afford to keep up." ... "The labyrinthine vastness of Intel's
nearly completed D1D semiconductor factory in Hillsboro, Ore., is every
bit as breathtaking as the microscopic intricacy of the microprocessors
it will soon start making." ... "By investing heavily during a tech recession,
Intel thinks it can leap a generation ahead in chip know-how and manufacturing
ability." ... However, the piece opines, that "even if Intel widens its
dominant 81% market share for PC microprocessors, it won't generate enough
incremental sales to use all that new capacity, nor will it get back to
growing at its historical double-digit rates." ... "The transistors on
the chips pounded out at D1D will be smaller than 90 nanometers across--so
small that ten of them would fit in the diameter of a human hair--vs. 130
nanometers at the current state of the art." (1, 2,
