  • Abstract
    Pradip Bose recalls economic and technical changes in the hardware sector of the computer industry over his four years as Editor in Chief of IEEE Micro. As he took office in 2003, the frequency wars characteristic of single-core processor designs had barely started giving way to a new trend of multicore chips, now firmly established. Bose looks ahead to challenges brought by multicore chips and anticipates the proliferation of a wide variety of ultra-power-efficient, high-performance processor chips that cater to specialized markets: Finally, Bose introduces IEEE Micro´s new Editor in Chief, David Albonesi.
