I need help with my project

[terrytek]

I need help with my project. It is for my school, for something called Advanced Academy. I am supposed to do a 15 minute speech about anything. I am doing Intel, for all you techies. I got a mentor to help me, so that is good. What I need, according to my mentor, are some images and short (2-3 minute) videos of anything Intel related, be it CPUs, ads, whatever can help you. Also, it would be helpful if you can give me links to Intel stuff. It's due in May, so it will take a couple months. I was planning to do the history and all of the CPU lineups from the 4004 to the i7.

 

 

Thanks a bunch guys (even if you really do help),

That's going to be a very boring speech...

You could do what I did on separate occasions and either explain the basics behind what makes a pc and how to put one together or explain why it's often better to build a system instead of buying a prebuilt.

Well, I already finalized my topic. I also plan on telling how Intel CPUs are the brainpower of a computer and that you can put a high performance cpu in a good system. But, it has to be multidisciplinary (ooh, good vocab), meaning it has to cover at least 3 academic subjects. Intel covers science, math, and history.

For one, you should explain why you are deciding to focus on Intel and to explain Intel technologies and less so general aspects of the cpu unless you plan to delve into technical specifics that your audience would likely gloss over.

What you are proposing sounds more like a one sided explanation of why Intel is good without context of the competition or trending tech--unless of course, you're going over that as well. If you are... good luck on keeping it to 15 minutes.

 

Here's a tip: Keep things interesting by talking about what is actually relevant to the audience and things they would care about. (Probably not the lineups of Intel's cpus unless you're only mentioning the big boys or the audience happens to be cpu fanatics)

Try to avoid always using high vocabulary when talking about CPU to your peers.
If the speech was to us, the high end vocab and geek talk would be interesting, but that is not the case here.

Try giving a history lesson behind every Processor you listed. 
For example... you could say the 6502 (Apple 2 processor) was in the introduced in the Apple II ...etc etc... it was successful and so on...  
You can even go into processors in phones / iPods so that the topic will be interesting to your peers since it will share a common ground.

I am going to explain achievements and competition, and I plan to shove all of it into 15 minutes. To me, 15 feels like an hour. Well, I plan to do the big lineups, like the Pentium, Celeron, Core i, 486, and 386. And I definitely won't forget the first CPUs, the 4004 and 8008.

Yeah, has Intel ever made CPUs for iPhones or iPads? Nope. But I am planning a little history lesson for each CPU lineup.
