Paralympic rower Captain Nick Beighton, who lost both legs in an explosion during a foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2009, welcomed the micro processor limbs as a "big step up in technology".
This will not only affect Intel, but also its rival Advanced Micro Devices and graphics processor maker Nvidia.
Mixed views on the outlook for computer processor specialist Advanced Micro Devices from analysts Monday.
Processor designer Advanced Micro Devices announced updates to its A-Series lineup of dual- and quad- core desktop and notebook processors Tuesday.

Following stronger than expected quarterly results from rival Intel, processor maker Advanced Micro Devices Thursday reported first quarter earnings that slid past analyst estimates.
The device has an integrated processor and near-eye micro display, and looks like a slightly bulkier version of Google Glass.

Advanced Micro Devices mainly competes with Intel in the server processor market.
Geared toward a younger (18 and under) demographic, MG will use Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and feature a four-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 4GB built-in memory, an SD port for additional storage options, a DebitSmart digital wallet system to pay for games, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, micro USB 2.0, and a TCC8925 Cortex A5 processor.

Just look at what Intel has done to Advanced Micro Devices over the past 12 months: Thanks to a salvo of new processor designs--and a cutting-edge manufacturing process--Intel has grabbed 76.3% of the market for the "x86" processors that power most of the world's computers in the final quarter of last year, up from 74.4% during the year-ago period, according to Mercury Research.
Intel's main rival, Advanced Micro Devices, launched a new chip design of its own earlier this year in a processor called Athlon.
The graphics market is now dominated by Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices ' ATI division, both of which crank out so-called graphics chips built around hundreds of processor cores.
Instead of building an even more complicated x86-compatible processor, the firm has created an entirely new chip of its own that is specifically designed to execute micro-ops quickly and efficiently.
