Agilent Technologies Unveils Products to Help Make Next-Generation GHz-Plus Desktop Computers Practical and Cost-Effective.Business Editors/High-tech Writers Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF.

Processors Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced two new "off-the-shelf" cooling solutions for the microprocessors clocking at over one gigahertz that will be in tomorrow's highest-performing desktop computers. Agilent ArctiCooler cooling products meet the thermal, acoustic, size, weight, and reliability specifications for the new Intel(R) and AMD post-PIII-era microprocessors. The new ArctiCooler products will be on display at booth No. 940 at The Intel Developer Forum, Aug. 22-24 at the San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. Convention Center, San Jose, Calif. "As PC processor clock speeds climb above one gigahertz, CPU power dissipation CPUs (Central processing units) in their various incarnations consume some amount of electric power. This power is dissipated both by the action of the switching devices contained in the CPU (such as transistors or vacuum tubes) as well as energy lost in the form of heat due to the and power density levels severely challenge traditional thermal management techniques," said Bill Carson For the former ice hockey player, see Bill Carson (ice hockey). Bill Carson (July 8, 1926- February 15, 2007) Born in Meridian, Oklahoma Carson was a California country-western guitarist for whom Leo Fender originally designed the Fender Stratocaster electric guitar in the early , ArctiCooler marketing manager. "Cooling systems cooling systems for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used. have therefore become a major constraint both in system design, and time to market." The Agilent ArctiCooler product line spans all high-performance IA-32 and similar single chip processors. The new models are for use with the Intel Pentium(R) 4 and similar board-attach designs. The ArctiCooler model CB provides the solution for the full market life of the Pentium 4 Willamette processor and the introductory phase of the Foster processor. The lower-cost ArctiCooler model CC serves the entry phase of the Willamette processor. All of today's ArctiCooler solutions are now rated at 100,000 hours of continuous operation. U.S. Price and Availability Production prototypes of the ArctiCooler models CB and CC are expected to be available in September 2000, with volume production by October 2000. The model CB will be priced at $10.50, and the model CC at $7.80, both in 100,000 unit volumes. About ArctiCooler Technology The ArctiCooler assembly is based on an exclusive design with three main features. A solid conical base provides high-velocity airflow through the heatsink and exceptional heat conduction from the processor to the fins. A two-pass heat exchange occurs as air is pulled in through the fins at the top of the heatsink and out through the fins at the bottom, which draws air in from the sides. The angled fins provide non-turbulent airflow that aids heat transfer and lowers noise. The result is up to nearly twice the cooling power of conventional air-cooled designs.
