The excitement now is in wireless e-commerce, in embedded consumer products and in network processors.
Its network search engines, for example, reduce the demands on the main network processors and improve system performance.
The numbers are crunched on the network, where fewer processors can serve a large number of meter points within their communications range.
Java is efficient at zipping lots of data across a network, but it overworks processors on arrival.
Asian markets, particularly China, will drive most of the growth as phone processors and screens improve and network access gets faster and cheaper, he says.
PureSystems consist of high-density boxes configured by IBM with x86 or Power processors, storage, and network connections all wired and ready to install in a data center in hours rather than months.

Multi-core processors from Intel and others are providing massive performance enhancements for network-based security scanning elements.
SpaceWire is a computer network for use on board spacecraft, which connects together instruments, mass-memory, processors, the downlink telemetry, and other onboard sub-systems.
In addition we have seen the rise of huge data centers with thousands of individual servers containing two or more of these processors (each with two to six cores), but they are interconnected through switches and network interface cards that have not scaled along with the processor performance.
