The microprocessor is a miracle.
A brilliant mind having a eureka moment could not create an Intel microprocessor containing a billion transistors any more than one person could dream up a Boeing 787 from scratch.
Even before the world had any cognizance of India as an economy, HCL had made a mark with its microprocessor in the '80s. HCL pioneered modern computing.
Computers sort of came around through games and toys. And you know, the first computer most people had in the house may have been a computer to play 'Pong,' a little microprocessor embedded, and then other games that came after that.
I was running an assembly line designed to build memory chips. I saw the microprocessor as a bloody nuisance.
I actually built a tiny computer as a junior high school project.
When we started out, you could design a chip with a few guys in a basement.
There are a lot of new things going on in the microprocessor world, including increased focus on power and efficiency.
