PITTSBURGH, Nov. 8, 2004 - Nearly two-thirds of the world's fastest supercomputers now use Intel Itanium or Intel Xeon processors according to the 24th Edition of the "TOP500" list, illustrating the growing momentum toward the use of standard Intel components for the most demanding high performance computing applications. The TOP500 project was started in 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high-performance computing. Twice a year, a list of the sites operating the 500 most powerful computer systems is assembled and released.
Intel architecture-based platforms currently make up 64 percent of the top 500 systems, continuing the surge in the use of Intel processors that accounted for only 19 systems in 2001 - approximately a 15-fold increase in the past three years.

Bond In Investing Savings "With 320 of the top 500 systems using Intel processors, it's clear the high performance computing community has a solid preference for off-the-shelf components," said Abhi Talwalkar, Intel vice president and general manager, Enterprise Platforms Group. "We're really offering supercomputer performance at radically reduced prices and deployment times. The result is that the world is moving away from experimental, proprietary systems that take fortunes to buy and years to build.

October' Legends of Rock also did well across all platforms. According to NPD, the Guitar Hero III game and guitar package ranked second, third, fourth in October sales. Independent from the bundle, the game for the PlayStation2 platform ranked eighth, NPD said. Rock Band. "I think Guitar Hero III will beat Rock Band, " Bond said.

Bond In Investing Stock NASA's Columbia supercomputer, powered by Intel Itanium 2 processors, took the No. 2 spot on the list. "It's great Columbia was ranked so high on the list," said Walt Brooks, chief of NASA's Advanced Supercomputing Division. "But the most remarkable thing about Columbia is that in just five short months the Intel, NASA, SGI team manufactured, integrated and delivered to NASA's scientist and engineers a critically-needed increase in numerical simulation capability. Columbia is making key contributions to the Shuttle Return to Flight efforts as well as aeronautics, space and earth science and exploration, not just running artificial benchmarks."

"Intel is excited to be part of a combined effort to demonstrate this tremendous offering for consumers on Intel Corea Duo processor based PC platforms, " said Brendan Traw, Intel Fellow and Chief Technology Officer, Intel's Digital Home Group. "Network connectivity with HD DVD titles can deliver consumers new viewing possibilities with additional bonus content, features, and games. This feature is a great step forward in the advancement of digital home entertainment experience."

Municipal Bonds Investment Columbia boosts NASA's computing power by approximately 10 times. Running 10,240 Intel Itanium 2 processors in 20 interconnected SGI Altix clusters, Columbia achieves a performance of greater than 52 teraFLOP/s. NASA used the Intel Math Kernel Library to help achieve the highest performance possible.

"Intel is excited to offer platforms with the processing power to meet the demands of the new era of high definition content, " said Kevin Corbett, vice president and chief technology officer, Intel's Digital Home Group and general manager of the Content and Services Group. " core processor platform in conjunction with CyberLink PowerDVD's playback technologies and expertise, definition DVDs."
