Intel Developers Forum Keynote Webcast online

[pm]

I posted this to GH already, but it's even more relevant here.

Follow this link here to watch the keynote speech from the Intel Developer's Forum in RealPlayer and Windows MediaPlayer formats. Windows Mediaplayer lets you see the slides - which I recommend since it makes the whole thing more easy to understand.

It's a bit long, so here are some high points:
Windows XP demo at 0:24 (slide #16)
Itanium Server demo at 0:39:00 (slide #20)
Intro to silicon technology at 0:45:00 (slide #25) - Way Cool! Check this out
McKinley processor demo at 1:27:00 (slide #31)

Totally recommend the silicon technology talk at slide #25/45min. If you ever wanted to see close up SEM micrographs of transistors, then I highly recommend this. Even if the broadcast doesn't work well, check out the slide set.
Also recommend my baby, McKinley, at 1:27.

If I come across as a little enthusiastic, well, I am. I've spent several years of my life working on McKinley and it's a great feeling to watch it being demo'd for the first time to a crowd of 5,000+.

I'm shocked that you guys aren't more interested in this. :Q

Aren't you interested in checking out what the silicon, transistors, and metal layers of a cpu looks like?

I look at them every day, and I'm still amazed.
