Intel Leads a New Era of Computing Experiences, Intelligence Everywhere
Computing Innovation, New Experiences and Internet of Things Solutions
to Create Smart and Connected World
Intel Corporation today announced products and solutions that will deliver new user experiences and support the computing ecosystem’s expansion into new areas.
This was announced during the opening keynote address at Computex 2015. Kirk Skaugen, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Intel’s Client Computing Group encouraged the Taiwan ecosystem to work together and capture the opportunity to shape the future of computing.
Skaugen said, “The power of Moore’s Law has enabled incredible computing innovation over the past 50 years and because of it, nearly everything in the future will have the ability to compute and connect, our 30-year history of collaboration with Taiwan has delivered historic innovation to the world, from personal computing to the cloud and data centers. The next 30 years will see even greater innovation as we deliver new computing experiences and bring intelligence and connectivity to the Internet of Things together.”
Skaugen offered predictions into the future of computing and showcased the products and platforms that will take us there. He also showed how these innovations will soon enable intelligence to be everywhere.
Intel introduced the expansion of the Intel® IoT Gateway product family. The latest gateway reference design offers expanded choice in silicon and software with the addition of Intel® Core processor-based gateways and Wind River Intelligent Device Platform XT 3 with flexible packaging options for applications that require a low cost of entry.
Intel also expanded the choice of operating systems for Intel IoT Gateway reference designs with the availability of Ubuntu Snappy Core from Canonical. This builds upon the current OS availability from Microsoft* and Wind River. Specifically for IoT solutions, especially retail and medical environments, Intel announced the new Intel® Pentium®, Intel®Celeron® and Intel® Atom processors. With stunning graphics performance in a low thermal envelope, the processors are customized for IoT and offer seven year availability.
Intel also introduced 5th generation Intel® Core™ mobile processors for mobile and IoT with integrated Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics. Optimized for gamers and content creators on the go, Intel’s fastest and most responsive mobile processors have Intel Iris Pro graphics 6200 and provide up to two times higher compute performance and two times better 3-D graphics performance compared to the current generation.2 These processors are also ideal for medical, public works and industrial IoT applications with the inclusion of critical features for powerful IoT designs, including ECC memory support, Intel® vPro™ technology and offer seven year availability.
Highlighting progress toward a future of a completely wireless computing experience, Intel announced it is working with Targus* to deliver Rezence standard-based wireless charging solutions. Intel also recently announced an agreement with China-based Haier* to bring wireless charging solutions to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and airports in China later this year. Additionally, Intel will work with A4WP members, Foxconn Interconnect*, Basecom* and original design manufacturers BYD* and Primax* to bring wireless charging solutions to market later this year.
