Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing current conditions and recent predictions regarding the recovery of the semiconductor industry, particularly as it applies to Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which together constitute the largest portion of the semiconductor industry relative to Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley’s economy is improving slowly, but it is not expected to fully recover before 2010. That portion of the semiconductor industry in and near Silicon Valley can be expected to gain increasing importance to the national economy as Intel’s and AMD’s newest products become available. Includes 3 charts. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley was long ago, before production moved to Asian destinations where production costs were much lower, most notably to Singapore. Exodus of semiconductor production
did not signal the end of the semiconductor industry, however. Both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are headquartered there, as are several other industry leaders.
Instead of producing semiconductors in costly Silicon Valley, today it is the design of better, faster and more capable semiconductors that is the focus of the
semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley. The primary output of the industry is the design that will be implemented and produced elsewhere. The purpose here is to assess the
value of todays incarnation of the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley. Forward Movement During the late 1980s and throughout much of the 1990s,
technical advances emerged at such a pace that no personal computer was able to approach the end of its useful functional life before becoming outdated. Intel and to a
lesser extent AMD ushered in advance after advance to take us through a series of 80xx improvements that brought us to rapid, 32-bit operation.
In this age of miniaturization, it should be possible to place two CPUs onto a single chip, making additional processing power available without altering much more than only the
chip itself. Intel and AMD both have been working on doing that very thing. Each company expects to offer dual-core processors in early 2005, which they expect will
be powering most new PCs by 2006 (The Next PC, 2004). Placing two processors onto a single chip is expected to turn "everyday desktop and even laptop PCs into
