Dell invented "everything on planet"
Printing press, typewriter, washing machines, jockey shorts
THE LADS OVER at news.com have interviewed the chief technology officer of Dell, who had some important information to tell us.
For example, it was Dell who made Intel adopt 802.11, and it was Dell who made Intel adopt a 64-32 instruction set. Dell was the engine behind PCI Express.
This will come as news to fearsome Intel chairman Cragg Barrett, who told us just a little while ago that 64-32 was a Chipzilla innovation, describing it as the "worst kept secret in Silicon Valley". According to entrepreneur Larry Barber, the INQ is the "best kept secret in Silicon Valley".
Intel also told us not so long back that it invented 64-32 technology and AMD just copied it. Kevin Kettler, CTO of Dell, left out the best bits however, probably because it slipped his mind. Some say that Dell invented TV, electric kettles, toasters, shavers, and its architects were behind the Taj Mahal, which was really just a prototype of the current Dell HQ
