1. However, the development of increasingly powerful processors and some clever software means the pen-based computers are starting to become available at a realistic price. 2. But why have a powerful processor if you are not going to push the envelope sometimes? 3. Doing this at high speed requires enormously powerful processors, which are built in small quantities. 4. Intel Plans Cost-Saving Plants Intel, the largest maker of computer chips, plans to upgrade its manufacturing plants to produce far more powerful processors. 5. It had the most powerful processor you could buy, plenty of memory, a fast video card and a spacious hard drive. 6. It, along with software maker Microsoft Corp., has guided the direction of the personal computer industry toward ever more powerful processors. 7. Like Fujitsu and Hitachi, it uses fewer but more powerful processors than American companies, which have pioneered in massively parallel machines. 8. Of these, only Digital competes directly against Intel in the chip business, with its powerful Alpha processor. 9. Sales did not pick up again for several years, until more powerful processors were developed, followed by software and networking gains. 10. Some of them require an even more powerful processor -- your brain. |
