Host Mike S. Malone takes users on a virtual tour of the
Intel Museum, touching upon the company’s important historical milestones. Intel's work in memory, microcontrollers and microprocessors have made possible many of today's most popular consumer electronics: personal computers, smart phones, smart tablets, toys and appliances.
At FORA.tv we are devoted to fostering the next generation of Big Ideas. This video is brought to you in partnership with Intel, the company dedicated to unleashing innovation, creativity and Big Ideas with next-generation technology.
Bio
Michael S. Malone
Michael S. Malone is an award-winning journalist who has reported on Silicon Valley since the early 1980s. He has written 15 books, including The Microprocessor: A Biography. Currently, he is an adjunct professor at Santa Clara University, an associate fellow at Said Business School and a blogger at Forbes.com.
Mario Paniccia
Mario Paniccia is an Intel Fellow and Director of the Photonic Technology Lab at Intel Corporation. Mario currently directs a research group focused in the area of Silicon Photonics. The team is developing silicon- based photonic building blocks for future use in enterprise and data center communications. Mario has worked in many areas of optical technologies during his career at Intel including optical testing for leading edge microprocessors, optical communications and optical interconnects.
His teams pioneering activities in silicon photonics have led to many firsts such as the first silicon modulator with bandwidth >1GHz (2004) and then the first at 40Gb/s (2007). The first continuous wave Raman silicon laser breakthrough (2005) and together with UCSB, the world’s first "Hybrid Silicon Laser" (2006).
Mario has won numerous awards including in November 2004 Mario being awarded by Scientific American to be one of the top 50 researchers for his teams work in the area of silicon photonics. In October 2008, Dr. Paniccia was named by R&D Magazine as "Scientist of the year" for his teams pioneering research in the area of Silicon Photonics. In 2011 he was awarded "innovator of the year" by EE times ACE award for his teams pioneering efforts in demonstrating the world’s first 50G integrated Silicon photonics link.
He has published numerous papers; including 3 Nature papers, 3 book chapters, and has over 65 patents issued or pending. He is a fellow of IEEE, OSA and SPIE.
Mario earned a B.S. degree in Physics in 1988 from the State University of New York at Binghamton and a Ph.D. degree in Solid State Physics from Purdue University in 1994.
U.S. manufacturer of semiconductor computer circuits. Intel was founded in 1968 as NM Electronics by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, inventors of the integrated circuit, to manufacture large-scale integrated (LSI) circuits. In the early 1970s it introduced the most powerful semiconductor chips then known, which soon replaced the magnetic cores previously used in computer memories. IBM chose to use Intel's 8088 microprocessor (introduced 1978) in its first personal computer (the IBM PC), and Intel microprocessors became standard for all PC-type machines. Although other manufacturers eventually developed Intel-compatible microprocessors, Intel continued to power more than 80% of PCs.
