this along with psp and dominos pizza teamimg up will be a big step for paintball!

this looks like the begining of a good year!

[Team Chokepoint]

Wow, I didn't see that coming. Very big step for the sport of paintball.

[DirtyBirdy51]

nice.

[TheSpy11]

Wow that's amazing. I would have never guessed it.

[Samrog777]

That's pretty sweet.

[soccerjacks12]

Very good exposure, now teh boards in Dybasty's guns will be super-computers:eek:

[Team Chokepoint]

I don't think they're making marker boards, although I admit I didn't read the entire article. It seemed like Intel was just advertising existing products like notebooks through this sponsorship.

[pr0xy_dA3m0n 1]

yeah i read it,

i got the impression that they were just handing a bunch of guys laptops, and exposing paintball while doing that

but of all compaines, intel, thats so cool!

[spyder_013]

finally... thats all i need to say.

[The-Grim-Reaper]

hold on u said dominos pizza that mean free food

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

[sniping99]

i bet dynasty will get boards made by intel

[Tweeter]

What would be really cool is a corprate sponsorship by Duracell. Everybody needs batteries (in the pro leagues at least) and Duracell rules anyways. Plus you could see XSV or whatever on those commercials. "Whether mowing muppets or mowing the lawn (battery powered lawn mower??), **Duracell slogan**"

[Shiv913]

hell ya, boards are gonna shrink like crazy. First thing should be a hopper *beep* when your getting low.

The architecture of an Intel CPU is far different than that of the basic stamps you seein your paintball marker, a basic stamp is generally very limited in it's capabilities and usually is programmed through a compiler that's been modified to support the limited functions that said stamp has. What Intel makes are processors that are capable of using very simple functions to create increasingly elaborate instructions for the processor to execute, and theoretically can perform pretty much any equation you could comprehend and then write in code.

Once again, no. Intel's technology is very different than what you see in marker boards. On a different note, the hopper beep has been discussed before, it would only serve to act as a "bunker me" siren, and would need some very elaborate programming in order to detect whether the lack of balls is due to an empty hopper or a hiccup in the hoppers feed rate.

Intel is one of the leading, if not most technologically advanced chip companies in the world. Im sure if they spent 60 seconds researching and reverse engineering a top of the line chip, they could make one themselves. Not saying they will, but they could. Dont be so negative to ideas.

[Tweeter]

I think Intel would lose money by putting in the time and money into designing and manufactering a good board/chip. Keep in mind, there's a ton of competition and intel has no experience in the world of paintball. The entire project would be a huge waste of resources. It could happen, but it's much more likely than not that it won't get made.

I was kidding when I made that quote. But I think what Tweeter is saying is completely true. ANd Intel has nothing to gain by manufacturing paintball products.

[sniping99]

if intel could make a board just think what would happen to paintball. try to picture a commerical for that on ur tv.

[pr0xy_dA3m0n 1]

i think the smartest thing for intel to do right now is to watch dynasty for a season, and tealk to them about what is going on in the pb world, with hardware for guns.

ONce they know whats going on, they should invest and BUYOUT or "teamup" with a paintball board company (i.e virtue) and then go from there.

if anything would happen, it would be come a way more evolved marker, not speed wise, we really have that covered, but be like the angel with temperature readouts etc. it would be nice to try to get some sort of on demand "system check", for needing of lube or blocked/plugged holes, or overpressure/underpressureized things (lpr hpr) and have a air flow management system or something cool like that.

[sniping99]

there not making a car. the only thing that the board would do is shot faster.

[shoktek91]

Oldness.

Not really, it take a lot of R&D to create a microprocessor, most of the models you see in paintball markers are probably multi-purpose designs bought en masse from a manufacturer of electronic stamps. It's this stamp that is responsible for all the input/output and settings, all of the capacitors, resistors, and transistors you see are merely there to create a steady supply of power (and in the case of the transistor, to turn the power on and off) for the processor and solenoid. So to make their own board from scratch Intel would need to design a chip of very small dimensions and with a greater number of built-in functions (reducing the amount programming, and thus memory needed for the chip to operate); which is a complete reversal of their current design strategy. To top this off in order to pruduce these chips they would have to take at least one of their machines off line in order to re-tool it to produce these smaller stamps, and if you ask me they probably would make a lot more money producing CPU's than marker boards.

Basically put, this is the wrong company to ask to make your boards, they don't currently make a lot of smaller scale processors (actually, there's none that I know of), they don't do a lot of programming, and they have no reason to expand into the paintball market.

if anything would happen, it would be come a way more evolved marker, not speed wise, we really have that covered, but be like the angel with temperature readouts etc. it would be nice to try to get some sort of on demand "system check", for needing of lube or blocked/plugged holes, or overpressure/underpressureized things (lpr hpr) and have a air flow management system or something cool like that.\
Kep in mind that for every sensor you add you also have to add wiring to receive it's signal, and most people have a hard enough time not pinching their eye wires; and why would you add these elctronics when you could just as easily drill and tap a part of your marker to accept a guage?

[punk_rocker543]

Just buy a board from a reputable paintball company. Such as Virtue or WAS. I'm not saying that Intel isnt reputable but they know nothing about Paintball.

[pittmeister]

and now we wait for XSV to be sponsered by AMD

[di$TOrTed]

wow, didnt see this coming

[twuzinkees]

if they get boards made by intel theyl probably be like the G7; it tells the date, time, says hello (insert name), tells the temperature, and tells you what parts of the gun needs to be oiled!

see!!!:) thanks for supporting my thoughts!:crazy:

As long as Microsoft doesn't get involved, we don't have to worry about blue screens of death on our G8s.

omg i hate those stupid error screens. i get those on my school laptop all the time.

[BunkerBoys]

Try having a windows millenium. I get blue screens almost everday. My dad doesn't think we need a new computer.:computer:

[MFTdoug]

Sure intel has no experience in paintball thats the reason to do it to gain experience.Also it would help out if they made boards then more people will have there eye on intell and everyone will want something to do with it.

[ssslither]

Being employed in the semiconductor industry, the above responses are entertaining to say the least. Don't hold your breath that Intel will design a 'new' processor for paintball. As was previously mentioned, the chip inside our electro markers are not all that complicated. That's not to say that one on Intel's chipset chips couldn't be reflashed to work but then one would have to design a new board. There are many other foundry fabs throughout the world that would be more than happy to design & manufacture your chip; of course for a fee.

It would be fun to see an AMD sponsor a team so Intel can hand them their arse in something other than CPU's.:D

[punk_rocker543]

This just in, AMD sponsors XSV. :dodgy:

[MFTdoug]

This just in nvidia sponsors tellitubbies. LoL just jerkin yer chain whats next dell sponsors ironmen.

[protosforlife99]

dynasty being sposerd by intel is aswome, hopefully intel and dynasty can work together to make the perfect board and revolutionize paintball.:crazy:

Agreed, it is possible for Intel to make a chipset for a marker, but why? It would be like Ferrari putting out a car to compete with the Volkswagen Beetle; sure, they have the technology, and they're in the same industry, but it would make no sense for Intel.

I actually have contacted an engineering student who was thinking about making his own board, he still isnt sure whether he want's to do it or not, but I offered him my help with the programming side if he needs it. You don't need a major manufacturer to make high-quality electronics, you just need someone to handle the construction of the board and the programming of the processor; which honestly doesn't sound that hard (then again, I did pretty good in forth year high-school level programming courses).

Silly man, everyone knows the longer pipeline of AMD processors make it more efficient in it's operation. :P

ok ummm i have no idea wat u just said but umm they could change there mind and make boards for paintball guns u never know

Yes, and Ferrari could shut down it's production lines and re-tool them to make golf carts and economy cars.


See my point?

^^

i do:)
