Intel, which often cuts prices to clear old stock, declined to comment. https://www.scmp.com/article/211189/price-cuts?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/211189/price-cuts?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 13 Sep 1997 16:00:00 +0000 Intel Corp plans to boost investment in China and introduce its latest technology to the country, which has one of the world's fastest-growing computer industries. The world's largest chip-maker is building a US$100 million factory in Shanghai, which is due to start production early next year, and said future investment would be about the same level. https://www.scmp.com/article/195195/intel-promises-technology?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/195195/intel-promises-technology?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 08 May 1997 16:00:00 +0000 A United States video camera firm has developed a monitor or TV set-top unit with a lens that automatically follows the subject around the room. Joanna Ching, manager of international sales for ParkerVision, said the CameraMan was compatible with popular video-conferencing systems from Intel, PictureTel or Tandberg. Ms Ching said the wider deployment of medium-to high-bandwidth network access in Asia had encouraged ParkerVision to seek distribution agreements in the region. https://www.scmp.com/article/183199/cameraman-target?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/183199/cameraman-target?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 27 Jan 1997 16:00:00 +0000 Intel says the Asian market will embrace Pentium Pro processor-based systems faster than it migrated to the fifth-generation Pentium systems that first appeared two years ago. Vice-president and general manager of Intel Asia Pacific, Sean Maloney, previewed what Intel calls the next wave of business computing in the territory recently. 'It is ramping faster across Asia than the Pentium processor did a couple of years ago,' he said.

The flash - a corner of orange, pink, yellow and green on the edge of the logo's traditional grey plane with the blue circle - will mean the PC holds an Intel microprocessor with multimedia-enhancing MMX technology. https://www.scmp.com/article/173407/intel-get-flash-logo?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/173407/intel-get-flash-logo?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 09 Sep 1996 16:00:00 +0000 Intel Corp says it is delaying introduction of a Pentium chip with enhanced multimedia capabilities because it cannot produce enough high-speed versions of the processor. Intel said the P55C chip would be released in the first quarter of next year with production starting at the end of this year. Intel said it could not meet customer demand for the faster, 200 megahertz version of the chips in the fourth quarter. The P55C is a version of Intel's flagship Pentium processor.

The usual local Americans have played down the risks of trade war and said there would be last-minute negotiations and trotted out the value of US exports to China as proof that the US has 'too much to lose'. However, they miss the most important point. And never mind the fact that America runs a huge deficit with China.
