However, the firm does not believe return customers at its UK stores were affected - or that chip and pin data in the UK was accessed as none is stored on the systems in Watford.
Mr Joy says that his new design, which turns a single chip into a parallel-processing system, can handle huge amounts of video and audio data at speeds that would overwhelm the usual Intel chip.
The business ecosystem Watson epitomizes ranges from the chip and server makers, to Cloud data center builders and operators.

The payoff: Cutting out so much data enabled them to get rid of external depth memory as well as the bottlenecks caused by shuffling data between it and the graphics chip.
And because Pixim's chip is accumulating more data per pixel--14 bits versus 8 bits for a CCD pixel--it generates higher resolutions and truer colors with only 400, 000 pixels on a sensor versus millions in most CCD cameras.
Unlike the iPhone, the Z10 will allow you to expand storage with a microSD card, and it sports a chip letting the phone act as a credit card at some payment terminals and share data wirelessly when tapped against some other phones.
Parents can remove the chip, download its data to a computer and use the information to verify driving agreements with their teens.
According to TechEye, Intel may also announce a new chip aimed at the data centre processing market and an alternative to Xeon.
The third-generation platform architecture consists of a multi-core SSD controller integrated with multiple high-speed serial on-chip buses and embedded processors, achieving high-speed data transfer between host and storage device.

Prices of the widely used 32-gigabit NAND flash chip, typically used in smartphones and tablets to store data, jumped as much as 17.7% in late Asia trade Monday, according to DRAMeXchange, Asia's biggest spot market for chips.
Data can be moved in and out of the chip at speeds of up to 10 megabits per second - far faster than is possible with other short-range radio systems such as Bluetooth or Radio Frequency ID tags.
The blue-chip benchmark retreated in previous sessions amid weak job-market and manufacturing data, closing at a current-year low on Monday.
As before, its got a trio of electrodes for sensing brainwaves, a NeuroSky chip for filtering out extraneous electrical noise and Bluetooth 4.0 for offloading data wirelessly.
"When you do an internet search your data goes into a data centre and the information wanted might not be on just one chip or even one rack of chips, " he told the BBC.
BBC: IBM chip aims to use light to speed up internet services
Dai and the Sutardjas next went after networking products, designing a chip that would transmit data through Ethernet ports at a billion bits per second, ten times the speed of the then current standard.
Unless it's some elaborate post-Thanksgiving hoax from our Canadian neighbors, several Telus customers have demonstrated that the LTE chip hiding inside the Nexus 4 does work, and have connected to some data speeds resembling a 4G connection.
With 4.8 billion transistors on a single chip, Trident II is optimized for software-defined networks and cloud-scale data centers, supporting tens of thousands of servers and virtual machines.
Cell phones function much like debit cards in that they use a data chip (in this case, a SIM card) to store balances and enable withdrawals.
These chip cards, debit and credit cards and other forms of cashless payments are huge opportunities for data gathering, and indeed, behind-the-scenes marketing firms are scraping off Internet sites as much information on individual spending habits as they can.
The chip has also been refined to be able to handle the detailed graphics common in games and the data demands of films and broadband media.
BBC: The successor to the PlayStation 2 will be launched in 2006
The opto chip's speed also stands to benefit businesses that transmit large amounts of data around the globe, and the military could use it to improve navigation systems for ships and aircraft.
