API (Alpha Porcessor Inc.) heeft vandaag op de PC Expo in New York als eerste een processor gedemonstreert op een snelheid van 1GHz, zonder daarbij gebruik te maken van allerlei heftige Kryotech-achtige koelmethodes:
This technology demonstration marks a milestone for the microprocessor industry, as this is the first public display of a full function 1 GHz microprocessor with no special cooling enhancements made to the system.The technology demonstration will showcase the 1 GHz Alpha processor incorporated in API's new Alpha Slot B packaging technology running on API's new dual processor platform, UP2000. Alpha Slot B technology enables API to produce higher-frequency Alpha processors, while lowering production costs and providing investment protection for Alpha system buyers.
