For the U.S. in 2008, we will develop and host a series of one-day events intended to present technical information as well as provide us with feedback on the best formats and topics of highest interest to our audience. This series of day-long conferences will expand our coverage beyond the microprocessor to include system-level hardware and software technologies. We will also address the global evolution of the business of bringing these technologies to market. We will focus on application segments that are revolutionizing the way the world communicates, networks, and entertains.

The first event in the series “Impacts of Devices on A Mobile Broadband Universe” will take place December 13, 2007 in San Jose, Calif. For more information on this event CLICK HERE

If you were unable to attend Microprocessor Forum 2007, you still have an opportunity to benefit from In-Stat’s presentation materials.

In 2007 digital designers and technical business managers will be required to make tough decisions as the industry accelerates its pace toward multimedia, visual communications, and higher bit rates to support data transfers over cellular networks. System and chip architects will create new designs and improve existing products as video becomes the next challenge. The whole spectrum of products will be affected, from handheld battery-powered devices, through wireless-data capable notebooks, to very efficient high-performance communications infrastructure and servers.

Targeting applications in consumer, communications, and automotive markets, designers must increase performance, reduce power consumption, and lower price. Today's designs are more difficult to create. It's no longer just about architecture. There are more variables than before. Core architecture, accelerators, multicore configurations, and the software to make everything work have become just part of the picture as semiconductor technology is shifting focus to 65nm for manufacture and 45nm for critical designs.

There are many websites and blogs where one can find information and opinions. Big companies have their own developer conferences. At Microprocessor Forum, we felt that it has become important to remove all marketing content and instead provide detailed technical presentations of new ideas and interesting solutions, as educational examples that can be shared among engineers. Our first conferences and seminars designed along these criteria were presented in 2006 in San Jose, California and in Tokyo, Japan. Following the positive feedback received from the audience, Microprocessor Forum 2007 will continue to offer valuable information by ensuring that each and every presentation shows detail, defines technical background and design considerations, and provides examples of design problems encountered and how these were solved.
