Glossary of Technical Terms

AVI (Audio Video Interleave)

A Microsoft-specified format for saving audio and/or video clips, referred to by Windows as "Video for Windows." You can play the files through the Media Player in Windows or through many popular browser plug-in multimedia players. Files of this type have a .avi extension.

Average Selling Price (ASP)

This term is used in the microchip manufacturing world. Companies like AMD and Intel strive for high ASPs. The ASP is an indication not only of direct profits, but how well a company is keeping up with the technology curve. It is not uncommon for Intel to have an ASP of around US$100 and AMD to be close behind.
