Microprocessor Research Labs
|
|
| Mission: |
To develop key technologies for future microprocessors and platforms ahead of the product development groups, to advance new uses and users for Intel microprocessors with a focus on the Internet environment, and to cooperate with universities in the above research areas.
|
| Overview: |
Microprocessor Research Labs (MRL) is the leading developer of microprocessor technology and the organization setting the standard for microprocessor development three to ten years in the future. Its international research facilities provide an insight into microprocessors (circuits, architecture, compilers, etc.), platform architecture (buses, caches, memory, interconnect, etc.) and core human interface (speech, NLP, video, vision, graphics, new devices, etc.).
With three of its research facilities located near fabrication plants, MRL researchers work side-by-side with product and process development groups. This arrangement fosters the efficient implementation of innovations into products.
