They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking today announced it will provide Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here. For other uses, see Cisco (disambiguation). Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. high-performance flash memory for a variety of Cisco communications technologies, including cable modems, desktop switches and low-end routers. The agreement between Cisco, a leading vendor of communications technologies, and Intel, the industry leader in flash memory, features a three-year commitment by Cisco to purchase Intel's high-density flash memory devices, including advanced Intel(R) StrataFlash(TM) memory technologies. "This long-term agreement with Cisco reflects Intel's broadening reach into the communications sector, as we continue to serve the industry as a leading building block supplier to the Internet economy The Internet Economy refers to conducting business through markets whose infrastructure is based on the Internet and World-Wide Web. An Internet economy differs from a traditional economy in a number of ways, including: communication, market segmentation, distribution costs, and price. ," said Curt Nichols, vice president and general manager of Intel's Flash Products Group. The agreement to supply high-density flash memory of 32Mb and higher is representative of Intel's strategic relationship with Cisco. Flash is one of several key communications technologies that Intel provides Cisco. First introduced by Intel in 1988, flash memories today are found in thousands of common products, including mobile phones, MP3 music players, handheld PC  An editor has expressed concern that this article or section is .Please help improve the article by adding information and sources on neglected viewpoints, or by summarizing and organizers, handheld voice recorders and tape-less answering machines, in addition to such industrial products as network routers and cockpit voice recorders A Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) is a flight recorder used to record the audio environment in the flightdeck of an aircraft for the purpose of investigation of accidents and incidents. . In April, Intel introduced its first flash chips produced on 0.18-micron lithography, enabling the company to nearly double the number of chips produced on each wafer. By the end of 2000, Intel was producing 0.18-micron flash memories in Santa Clara, Oregon and New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). , with plans for a dedicated flash facility in Colorado to come online in 2001. Intel plans to produce four times as many flash megabytes in 2001 as in 1999. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
