"Linux--with a strong developer community and a flexibility that allows the Unix clone to run on numerous chips--has become an asset the chipmakers want on their sides as they prepare future chip designs. Linux has become a tool to secure quick support for a new chip." "Happily for Linux fans, it appears that such work is happening. Representatives from Intel, IBM, HP, Red Hat and SGI gathered at a summit meeting to work on improving GCC." "Intel is working not only with Microsoft but also with the major Linux companies to make sure their operating systems can support a new chip technology called hyperthreading, which essentially lets a computer with a single CPU act like a dual-processor system, said Intel spokesman Seth Walker. Hyperthreading, built into Pentium 4 and new Xeon chips, is arriving in early 2002, Brookwood said."
