But Intel has gambled that users in search of higher performance will be willing to uproot and move to Itanium computers, which require a new library of software, including special versions of the Windows or Linux operating systems.
Apple gets off a bit lighter than companies such as Google and Facebook because it actually makes real things – phones, tablets, computers – which require vast engineering and manufacturing resources.
Of course, given Apple's longstanding absence from CES, "the lot" was limited to the early Android tablets and the BlackBerry PlayBook, a tablet computer which required a separate phone to handle emails.
Its creators say it goes way beyond standard hand-drawn computer graphics, which require staggering amounts of time and money.
Data centers in New Jersey that provide huge banks of remote computer storage, which require enormous amounts of electrical power and ultrafast fiber optic links, are commanding rents four times as high as prime high-rises in Manhattan, James Glanz reports in The New York Times.
Most newer vehicles are equipped with advanced computer systems, which require constant power.
Silicon photonic integration is an enabling technology for power- and cost-effective optical interconnects in exascale performance computers and datacenters which require extremely low power consumption and dense integration for a higher interface bandwidth density.
Unlike computer chess programs, which require immense amounts of computing power to determine every possible future move, the Polaris poker software is largely precomputed, running for weeks before the match to build a series of agents called "bots" that have differing personalities or styles of play, ranging from aggressive to passive.
But we cannot rush to replace lever machines with tamperable computer voting machines, which require vendor technicians instead of bipartisan public employees.
Its biggest, electronics industry analysts say, was in 1991, when it started a business manufacturing computer disk drive components, which require huge amounts of investment capital and research.
Cryo-transmission electron microscopy records high-resolution electron micrographs, which require computer processing for three-dimensional structure reconstruction.
