“They put over 100 million gates/transistors on a tiny piece of silicon. On that piece of silicon there are more lines than there are on a roadmap of London - and they work. There are very very few errors in a microprocessor.”
Alan Cox
“Fifty-acre parcels are generally not that available in Silicon Valley. You can't buy 50 acres, you have to piece it together. So if you're Apple and you're going to go through the trouble of putting it together, you might as well pick an area you want to stay in, as opposed to one further away where you might save money but it will be just as difficult to assemble.”
Matthew Anderson
“We want to embed just a little bit of the IT manager directly into each piece of silicon we develop and ship into the marketplace.”
Pat Gelsinger
“The JP was not sanctioned to endorse a specification developed in private by a handful of silicon companies, ... The difference is the fact that [EWC] agreed to create silicon, and they've said they will create silicon and push that silicon interoperability specification regardless of what happens in 802.11n.”
Greg Raleigh
“[Silicon Valley Bank, founded in 1983, focuses its efforts on serving high-tech and biotech businesses. It also makes a fair amount of real estate and commercial loans and caters to religious organizations.] Through the niche approach, we bring value-added knowledge of the industries, ... We are known as the bank that lends to emerging growth companies.”
John Dean
“Pleasanton offers easy access to a wide range of locations, from Silicon Valley to San Francisco, and beyond. We picked a location that is close to some of the world's top universities, and conveniently reachable through major freeways and mass transit, allowing us to attract the best and brightest professionals in the surrounding communities.”
Mike Rogers
“You literally can squeeze silicon, and thereby give it properties to make it faster. The thing that is making it run faster is not just that it's smaller but because you're changing its basic physical properties.”
