11.   But even as this upgrade program was underway, chip manufacturing technology continued to improve.

12.   CISC refers to the older chip technology used by Intel.

13.   Encryption is a chip technology that disguises a voice, fax or electronic mail into gibberish, which can only be read once it reaches the intended recipient.

14.   For example, a smaller Silicon Valley company, Sandisk Corp., is already selling a similar system for increasing the storage capability of flash memory chip technology.

15.   For Intergraph, casting its lot with Intel would mean abandoning its own chip technology and scrapping plans to use Sun Microsystems as an alternate chip supplier.

16.   For the Amazing Talking Fortune Cookie, Snyder wanted to avoid using chip technology.

17.   He said Intel benefited from the greater efficiency offered by new chip production technologies that crammed more circuitry into smaller pieces of silicon.

18.   Hester said that the three classes of server were moving to a common chip technology, CMOS, which would facilitate sharing components.

19.   In an unrelated announcement yesterday, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices said they have signed a new five-year agreement for cross-licensing chip technology.

20.   In a sense, Motorola has little to lose because its traditional approach of relying heavily on proprietary chip technology to drive handset sales clearly has not been working.
