Put new ideas into action.
Anyway, Intel's been busy slashing prices and putting out new chips over the past couple of days, so let's take a look at what's what.
"It's not like we put a new chip in his head or anything like that".
While some manufacturers struggle with the chemistry of existing battery technology (see: "Putting New Life In Batteries"), others are attacking the problem of power consumption by the chips inside the devices.
The buyer apparently put in some new chips and wiring, since it was a working model when it sold on Saturday.
The arrival of these new chips, which hackers can put to use to decode security passwords, is significantly altering the security landscape, they believe.
The new chip puts four processors on one piece of silicon, a technology known as quad-core, allowing for faster calculating and greater energy efficiency, features sought by companies running large data centers and server farms.
The new chips are aimed at helping hard drive manufacturers meet new demand for putting media files of all types music, video, and whatever else you can think of on an increasingly wide array of consumer electronics.
On May 10th Paul Otellini, the boss of Intel, a big American chipmaker, put the price of a new chip factory (known as a fab) at around $10 billion.Happily for those that lack Intel's resources, there may be a cheaper option namely to mimic Mother Nature, who has been building tiny devices, in the form of living cells and their components, for billions of years, and has thus got rather good at it.
