Andrew Chien is head of all Intel research, responsible for thinking about new microprocessors, new microprocessor applications, and novel fab-able devices. He talked with WaferNEWS during the chipmaker’s Research Day about where opportunities exist in the intersection of digital CMOS fabrication technology and biological applications, how Intel is trying a super-computer architecture end-run on IBM’s Blue Gene, and why it’s becoming much easier for designers to innovate at the architectural level.
