In August 1908, a white mob attacked Springfield, Illinois’s Black community, destroying homes and businesses and lynching two Black men. National outrage over the violence helped spur the movement that created the NAACP the following year.

Timna was the codename of a proposed central processing unit (CPU) family by Intel. The project was announced in 1999 and was designed in Haifa, Israel; it is named after the Timna Valley in Israel.
The chip was supposed to be Intel's first CPU with an integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) and random access memory (RAM) controller which was designed to work with the RDRAM type of RAM. The price of RDRAM did not drop as expected by Intel.[1][2] It was decided to use the Memory Translator Hub (MTH) that is also used by the Intel 820 chipset to link Timna with the SDRAM type of RAM. Later, a serious defect was discovered in the design of the MTH and so the Intel 820 based motherboards using it had to be recalled. The MTH was rebuilt but problems remained.
The GPU (codenamed Capitola) that was to be used in conjunction with Timna was based on i752/i754 that were used with 810/815E chipsets.
Timna was canceled on September 29, 2000.
The processor was expected to be clocked from 600 MHz to 700 MHz, use a 133 MHz front-side bus (FSB), have a L2 cache size of 128 KB, and was to be manufactured at a 180 nm process.[3]
Intel Haifa was later tasked to be the backup team for Intel's mobile CPU design. Their knowledge of Timna's P6 derived architecture heavily influenced their project Banias.
We made a big bet on Rambus and it did not work out.

This list of Intel processors by generation attempts to present all of Intel's processors from the 4-bit 4004 (1971) to the present high-end offerings. Concise technical data is given for each product.
The Intel i386EX (80386EX) is a variant of the Intel 386 microprocessor designed for embedded systems. Introduced in August 1994 and was successful in the market, being used aboard several orbiting satellites and microsatellites. Intel's previous x86 CPU for the embedded market was the Intel 80186. Like the 80186, the 80386EX integrates several peripherals including a timer, DMA controller, and interrupt controller. This vastly reduces the number of system components required for implementing a 80386EX-based system. Unlike the 80186, the peripherals of the 80386EX are compatible with standard PC/AT components. Intel did not manufacture another integrated x86 processor until 2007, when it confirmed the Enhanced Pentium M-based Tolapai (EP80579). The Intel386 EX processor was planned in sample for April 1994 with production in third quarter for US$39 in 5,000-piece quantities.
Intel has historically named integrated circuit (IC) development projects after geographical names of towns, rivers or mountains near the location of the Intel facility responsible for the IC. Many of these are in the American West, particularly in Oregon (where most of Intel's CPU projects are designed; see famous codenames). As Intel's development activities have expanded, this nomenclature has expanded to Israel and India, and some older codenames refer to celestial bodies. The following table lists known Intel codenames along with a brief explanation of their meaning and their likely namesake, and the year of their earliest known public appearance. Most processors after a certain date were named after cities that could be found on a map of the United States. This was done for trademark considerations. Banias was the last of the non-US city names. Gesher was renamed to Sandy Bridge to comply with the new rule. Dothan is a city both in Israel and in Alabama.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
