Discontinuities driven by a billion connected machines
Patrick P. Gelsinger · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 2000
We have witnessed an explosion of Internet use that has tremendous implications for our industry, particularly on the test requirements put upon us. At Intel we have a vision. We see a world in which we're marching toward a billion connected computers being served by high-performance networks and millions of servers. On those servers we see billions of transactions worth trillions of dollars, conducted on a daily and a yearly basis. This connected world is changing everything-everything that we do and everything that we need to deliver as an industry.
