Processor Forum 2005 Photo Coverage
San Jose , CA
October 25 - 26, 2005
This used to be called the Micro Processor forum. A single conference would have 10’s of new processors announced and now there may be 2 or 3 processors announced. The day of a new GP processor has largely faded as the realities of competing against Intel, IBM and ARC have become near impossible. One result has been the expansion of specialized processors such as the network processor. But even in the graphics processor space, there are effectively only two companies: nVidia and ATI. Through all of this innovation in processor development continues, it is with a different pace and certainly shared on a global basis with design efforts taking place everywhere. This Processor Forum has at its theme The Road to Multicore. This transition has clearly created excitement in the design community. It also has brought with it more attendees than seen at the processor forum for a number of years.
