Faced with unpleasant financial realities in the present, Intel is trying to shift attention to chip innovations coming in the future. At a shareholder meeting Thursday, amid a discussion of restructuring and cost-cutting (http://news.com.com/Intel+to+get+widespread+restructuring/2100-1014_3-6065708.html?tag=nl), the chipmaker disclosed plans to overhaul its underlying processor designs more than twice as fast as it has in the past.
Intel will adopt new "microarchitectures" every two years, Chief Executive Paul Otellini said at the company meeting. A microarchitecture is reused to deliver several ever-faster generations of a processor family. That stepped-up release rate will match the speed with which Intel moves to more-advanced silicon chip manufacturing processes. "
