Do the Even questions from section 2.2.4.

(It wouldn't hurt if you studied the answers to the odd questions as well.)

In addition, do these problems:

  1. Briefly describe the newest of Intel's processor architectures (the IA-64). How is it significantly improved over the Pentium line?
  2. Name the major processor makers in the market today and describe the philosophy, target audience, and current offerings of each briefly.
