Agilent Technologies Unveils a Smaller, Quieter, Lower-Cost Cooling Solution for Pentium III and Athlon Processors Through 1.2 GHz.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers electronica 2000 MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2000 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), a leading provider of innovative technologies for communications and life sciences, today announced its ArctiCooler Model CD cooling system cooling system: see air conditioning; internal-combustion engine; refrigeration. cooling system Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. , a lower-cost and quieter cooling solution that meets the thermal, acoustic, size, weight and reliability specifications for the Intel(R) and AMD microprocessors This article gives a list of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) microprocessors, sorted by generation and release year. If applicable and openly known, the designation(s) of each processor's core (versions) is (are) listed in parentheses. operating at up to 1.2 GHz. The ArctiCooler Model CD cooling system, designed for Intel Pentium(R) III Coppermine socket 370 and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Athlon, socket 462 FC-PGA FC-PGA - Flip Chip Pin Grid Array processors, are much quieter than any competing cooling system (25 dB sound pressure versus well into the 30 dB range), making today's smaller-form-factor desktop computers much more acceptable to noise-sensitive users. "Today's thermal solution decisions are becoming increasingly difficult and are made rapidly obsolete by uncertainties and conflicting information about processor performance, volume availability and thermal power levels," 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 , Agilent's ArctiCooler marketing manager. "The Model CD is the latest in a line of ArctiCooler solutions, each of which cover a full range of possible scenarios confronting the thermal designer for any given processor. The model CD has the robust thermal performance needed to support that full range of scenarios, and ensures an OEM's Intel PIII PIII Pentium III Processor (Intel) PIII Phase III (clinical studies) PIII Plasma Immersion Ion Implanter Coppermine or AMD Athlon FCPGA FCPGA Flip Chip Pin Grid Array FCPGA Flip Chip Pga solution. This completely eliminates the threat of thermal solution redesign and requalification." The Agilent ArctiCooler product line spans all high-performance IA-32 and similar single-chip processors. Other models are available for use with the Intel Pentium 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. The products are on display at electronica 2000, the 19th International Trade Fair for Components and Assemblies in Electronics, at the New Munich Trade Fair Center, Nov. 21 to 24, 2000.
