| EU
to Impose 33% Duties on Hynix |
| April 24, 2003 - EU Commission to give its decision today. The South Korean
chipmaker expects the commission to impose a duty on their product. The
EU began a probe in 2002 when German memory manufacturer Infineon alleged
that the South Korean government had subsidized Hynix Semi. In March the
Commerce Dept. issued a preliminary ruling versus Hynix on this same issue
when Micron, U.S. chip maker, complained. If this ruling of the Commerce
Dept. is upheld, the U.S. may also impose duties on Hynix. |

to Release New Opteron Processor into Server |
| |
| New chip uses old x86 format while having 64-bit speed. Advanced Micro
Device Inc., is releasing its latest server micro-processor, Opteron, into
the market. The difference between todays 32-bit processors (including AMD's
Athlon MP line) and the newer 64-bit chips is that the 64-bit chips can
get data in much larger chunks, making them much faster than today's devices.
AMD built Opteron on Intel's x86 design, yet the Intel processor Itanium
that it will be competing against uses a totally new design. |

P4 3.06Ghz Hyper-Threading Processor |
| |
| Intel crossed the 3GHz milestone with its new Pentium 4 3.06GHz Hyper-Threading
processor. By embedding the HT technology in its new product line, it has
shifted its emphasis from speed to versatility. Intel states, the new HT
processor will offer up to 25% performance gain independent of clock speed.
Since faster clock speed has not enticed new computer buyers into trading
their older machines. Intel is betting its big advertising dollars on this
new technology hoping to draw users from all walks of application platforms
to embrace HT. So the question is what is HT and why should one consider
upgrading. |
