Justin Rattner Quotes (13 Quotes)

Not only were the platforms in the science fiction movies user-aware, they were self-aware, and that notion of self aware added to the excitement of those motion pictures and added a bit of trouble. In the end, HAL turned out to be too human like that was the fatal flaw. The concept of self awareness can be a bit dangerous. This notion of turning against the user is fundamental to the plot line, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Later this year it will fuel new dual core processors and quad core processors in 2007 that we expect to deliver industry leading performance and capabilities per watt. People will see systems that can be faster, smaller and quieter with longer battery life and lower electric bills.

It's going to take a significant investment on the industrial side, not the government side but the industrial side, in China to begin to approach what it takes to be competitive worldwide.

Even though we've been under competitive pressure, and you might think we've lost a certain enthusiasm for what we're doing, that's far from the truth.

We're at least a year ahead of the competition in 65nm.

I don't think consumers will do climate modeling, although given the way the climate is going, that may become a very popular thing to do in the future.

Variability increases as geometries shrink. Leakage power varies five to 10 times. Frequency varies about 30 percent.

Beginning with the Pentium in 1993 and the Pentium 4 today, every increase in performance has brought a corresponding increase in energy used. We found a way out. Today we're at the dawn of a new age of energy-efficient processing.

Energy is on everyone's mind. It's a critical concern of every platform we deal with.

We are going to see a whole generation of much more user-friendly systems which are more attractive for use in the home.

Once in a generation an opportunity like this comes along to bring dramatically improved computing benefits to millions of people.

A user-aware platform will be any device that can take care of itself, knows who we are, where we are, and tries to anticipate what we want done. They will need digital senses to be aware of their surroundings and what they are doing. They will also need new levels of intelligence to understand our needs and collaborate with other electronics to take action on our behalf while doing no harm in the process.

As I look at Intel's product lineup versus AMD, it's clear that Intel is weakest in servers and strongest in notebooks. So from that standpoint I can see why Intel would want to create an impression that says they are closing that gap. It's kind of like how many angels can you fit on the head of a pin
