Koreans in my Intel?

Ah, and "SNSD" is the musical group also known as "Girls' Generation" for which some YouTube videos were shown here. So they will be endorsing Intel throughout Asia.

Well, that's hardly unreasonable.

Of course, I'm surprised there isn't yet a company in Korea that's giving Intel some competition. Taiwan has TSMC, for example. Korea makes memory chips, but I can't think of a Korean microprocessor off the top of my head, although the country is clearly technically advanced enough to be in that area.

lol I knew exactly what this was gonna be about when I saw that title. It seems Intel is really trying to expand in Korea, they also recently sponsored SlayerSBoxeR (Lim Yo Hwan) for Starcraft 2.

I see that Hyundai managed to make an x86-compatible microprocessor, but they could not become licensed for the technology. Amazing what a quick Google search will find...

And, indeed, the microprocessor chip in the iPhone is manufactured in Korea, I found from another news item. Checking further, I see that it's believed to have been made by Samsung. Anam, another Korean company, was the first Korean foundry to be licensed to make ARM chips.

I don't like Domino's pizza (I'm in New York, liking it would be a crime quite frankly), but that advertisement sure does entice me.

But, if you want their latest video, I think I read something on AKP about them having a new release...

Aha! Found it:

And now in today's news: IBM, in order to research new materials and processes for microprocessors, and thus to remain able to compete with Intel, has entered into a partnership with Korea's Samsung. Clearly, I was very much behind the times in not being aware of Korea's emergence as a microprocessor powerhouse.

That's rather interesting. I always knew Korea to be quite technologically adept. (just look at their crazy internet services)

I don't know, Ripster. Legos can be pretty cute but.. can they hold a candle to IU?

There's quite a few Korean companies that make specialized CPUs for specific applications.  There's also at least one Korean company (Coreriver) that makes general purpose MCU's which I've found are very competitively priced for their performance.

They're indeed more enticing than the Blue Man Group.
