In 2000, wireless applications became the focus of development, and Intel released Xscale micro-architecture system and several wireless network cards. -Intel released Pentium 4 processor, which integrated 42 million transistors. 200 1- Intel introduces the first 64-bit Itanium processor for workstations and servers. -Intel released the Xeon processor. -Intel has made the smallest and fastest transistor in the world, with a width of only 15 nm (1 nm is one billionth of a meter). 2002-Intel began to manufacture chip products on 300mm (12 inch) wafers using 0. 13 micron technology. -Intel released Hyper-Threading Technology, which enables the processor to run multi-threaded tasks at the same time, thus improving the system performance in a multi-tasking environment. -The company released the An Teng (An Teng) 2 processor specially designed for high-performance servers and workstations. 2003-Intel released the technology dedicated to Centrino, and Pentium M processor is the core of Centrino. -Intel introduced PXA800F cellular processor, which is a microchip that completely integrates the key structures of mobile phones and handheld computers on one chip. In 2004-2004, Intel launched a 64-bit Xeon processor codenamed Nocona kernel, which is the most successful enterprise-class 64-bit server product launched by Intel so far. 2005-Dual-core Intel Pentium D processor based on Smithfield kernel is launched. In 2006, the 5000 series dual-core Xeon processor codenamed Dempsey was launched on the Bensley platform. -Introduce the core architecture processor. -Introducing the Core 2 architecture processor. -Introducing the 5 100 series of Bensley platform dual-core Xeon processors based on the core architecture (codenamed Woodcrest, 65nm process, 1333MHz front-end bus, LGA 77 1 processor interface). -7 100 series multi-channel Xeon processors, based on NetBurs microarchitecture code-named "Tulsa".
