    Intel

    Intel was at the event with quite a large booth. All over the city and in their booth they are promoting what they call macroprocessing. Look at this big ad:


    See the big macroprocessing banner?

    I was a bit curious to find out more about exactly what macroprocessing was in relation to microprocessing. It took me 3 different Intel reps there in that section to finally get a semi-answer. I found it kind of funny that the Intel reps didn't know what it was and they were working in the macroprocessing area.

    AMD

    AMD had a nice booth with various manufacturers computers running Athlon's and Duron's for people to try out.


    Nice booth

    And of course Athlon 4 was there!

    Nothing really new from either Intel or AMD.

    Compaq

    I went over to Compaq's booth to see if there was anything new and exciting there. They had a new MP3 CD player and a new MP3 player which I cannot remember the name of. Here's a picture of it though:


    You can see the new MP3 CD player sticking out in the corner

    This player stores 20GB of data in it and retails for something like $799. Pretty hefty price if you ask me.
