Embedded computer architecture and automation

With the advent of system level integra- tion (SLI)—the next level of integration beyond
VLSI—and system-on-chip (SOC) capabilities, the computer indus- try’s focus is shifting from
personal to embedded computing. The opportunities, needs, and constraints of this
Interesting article. However, I wish the aothur had mentioned the right’ computing devicesultrabooks, laptops, desktops and servers. Anything below that (in device size ), i.e., smartphones and tablets predominantly belongs to non-Intel manufacturers, for now. However, I do commend the amazing pace with which Intel process and device engineers are coming up with the next generation transistor (bulk, tri-gate/FinFET and III-Vs) into the market. Hence the scale and importance of Intel fabs is immense. Just plugging in buzzwords such as smartphones and tablets is not right.
