Russell's focus was on "Moving beyond Ghz", the technologies Intel has
to offer and the future technology directions. "We at Intel look at

expanding our product and technology development focus beyond processor speeds

so as to enable greater productivity and better experience for the users,"

said Russell.





One of the key points of Russell's presentation was the company's optimism about
the future of ebusiness. The growing opportunities in the connected world was

highlighted. The number of companies adopting the ebusiness module is expected

to be growing and in the next five to 10 years it is believed that 20 million

companies would have to go the ebusiness way, to survive in the competitive

market.





The ebusiness needs of the enterprise demands technology that can offer high
performance, scalability and reliability. "Itanium architecture is the

answer to this," said Russell. "We focus on the needs of the specific

market segments and computing models, and deliver technology to match these

requirements," he added.





The key areas of focus was on the various technology innovations of Intel that
included the Hyper-Threading, an Intel technology that enabled multiprocessing

on a single chip and Banias, an Intel architecture for mobile computing with the

lowest power consumption. Infiband is yet another critical future

interoperability technology that is expected to make Intel-based servers more

reliable, higher performing and more easily scalable in the ebusiness computing

infrastructure.
