INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW, Las Vegas, Jan. 7, 2010<\/strong> \u2013 Intel Corporation President and CEO Paul Otellini today talked about how \u201cpersonal computing\u201d is expanding beyond the PC to nearly every kind of electronic device, transforming Intel and the industry in the process. He also unveiled several innovative technologies and design wins that spanned Intel\u2019s PC and other growth businesses, including netbooks, smartphones, CE devices and \u201cconnected\u201d embedded technology.<\/p>\n

Otellini described how Intel and the industry are delivering the vision he painted in his keynote 2 years ago at CES. Computing is being integrated into every relevant aspect of people\u2019s lives, he said, whether they are on their computer or smart phone, watching TV, in the car or out shopping. A seamless personalised experience tailored to individuals\u2019 interests, needs and social networks will deliver the information, entertainment and experiences people want, whenever, however and wherever they want. To illustrate his point, he demonstrated exciting advances in mobile device applications, 3-D content, smarter phones and TVs, and areas traditionally not associated with computing such as home energy management and digital signage.

Stereoscopic 3-D Content<\/strong>
\nIntel\u2019s CEO also touched on one of the most buzzed about topics at CES \u2013 3-D stereoscopic content \u2013 and said that creating 3-D content requires a \u201cton of computing power.\u201d Powerful microprocessors will play a central role in the transition to 3-D content creation. Otellini showed a video to highlight how the latest advances in 3-D content is not only transforming how people watch movies, but creating a fully immersive experience for their favorite concerts, sports events and video games.<\/p>\n

Otellini also demonstrated that there are select powerful PCs available today that are expanding 3-D content creation from Hollywood studios to living rooms. He showed how the combination of optimised 3-D video coding and editing software and a high-performance PC could let an individual take two separate left eye and right eye videos \u2013 captured on two HD camcorders placed close together on a tripod \u2013 to quickly create a 3-D video and play it back on a 3-D TV. The demonstration also showed the PC was powerful enough to not only play back the HD 3-D video, but it could also quickly change the visual look of the video and add 3-D text overlay while it was playing \u2013 all without having to wait for any rendering of the images. The demonstration used a Silicon Imaging <\/a>* SI-3D Stereo camera system, video coding and editing software by a video compression technology company called Cineform<\/a>*, and an Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7 processor-based Alienware* PC. Cineform\u2019s First Light 3-D application was written to take advantage of the Intel Core i7 processor\u2019s horsepower, with new instructions sets for media and multiple processor cores.<\/p>\n

RealD<\/a>*, the leader in 3-D technology for cinema, home and professional applications, outfitted the keynote theatre with its stereoscopic cinema system \u2013 complete with eyewear and 3-D projection technology \u2013 so the audience could experience the depth, clarity and immersive effect of what Otellini showed.<\/p>\n

Connecting Devices in the Home<\/strong>
\nAs an example of new ways to connect computing devices in the home, Otellini unveiled a product today called the Intel\u00ae Wireless Display<\/a>, a hassle-free wireless way to enjoy laptop content on a big screen TV. Powered by the new 2010 Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 Processor family, Intel\u00ae Wireless Display utilises standard WiFi that\u2019s become ubiquitous in laptops to connect the PC to an HDTV via a small, lightweight adapter. The technology allows people to easily send videos, photos, and music from their laptops to TVs, so they can share content on the big screen from the comfort of a couch without crowding around a small laptop screen. Laptops and adapters featuring Intel\u00ae Wireless Display will be available on Jan. 17 from Best Buy <\/a>* in the United States and Canada as part of its Blue Label 2.0 program. Dell, Sony and Toshiba are each supplying a laptop for the program. All laptops in the Blue Label 2.0 program will come with Intel\u00ae Wireless Display pre-installed and have a hotkey that makes connecting to a TV as easy as pushing a button. NETGEAR* is delivering the TV adapter for Intel\u00ae Wireless Display, and Best Buy will be selling the laptops and adapters together as a bundle. Intel plans to expand availability of the technology to additional markets and distribution channels this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Otellini also highlighted \u201cLight Peak <\/a>\u201d technology \u2013 a high-speed optical cable technology developed by Intel \u2013 as another upcoming method for transferring large files or audio\/video signals between electronic devices. The technology will deliver 10Gb\/s of bandwidth with the potential to scale to 100Gb\/s over the next decade. \u201cLight Peak\u201d technology will connect next-generation electronic devices \u2013 such as laptops, HD displays, cameras, video players, docking stations and solid-state drives \u2013 to each other using optical fibre rather than copper wires. At 10Gb\/s it would take less than 30 seconds to transfer a full-length Blu-ray* movie between devices. Initial systems are expected to become available next year.\u00a0 There is also growing industry support for making this a broadly available standard in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmarter\u201d Devices in the Home<\/strong>
\nOtellini highlighted how the TV will continue to be a focal point in the home while getting increasingly \u201csmarter.\u201d He described how advancements in microprocessor technology will continue to transform how people enjoy 3-D movies and TV in their homes. To prove his point, he showed new ways to visually search for TV shows, Internet access to videos, games, Facebook* and other applications on a yet-to-be introduced Orange <\/a>* media set-top box enabled with the newest features and 3-D interface for an amazing entertainment experience. The Orange Box concept combines the best of linear and on-demand TV \u2013 such as live TV, PVR and video-on-demand \u2013 with the best Internet services and personal content such as videos and photos. The Orange Box is powered by Intel\u2019s latest system-on-a-chip processor that supports Internet and broadcast applications on one chip. The Intel\u00ae Atom\u2122 CE4100 has the processing power and audio\/video components necessary to run rich media applications such as the 3-D graphics and interface shown on the Orange Box.<\/p>\n

Intel\u00ae Intelligent Home Energy Management Concept <\/strong>
\nAs an example of how computing in the home is not just about entertainment, Otellini showed a concept device for managing energy consumption<\/a> powered by an Intel\u00ae Atom processor. The demonstration showed how a homeowner could use the intelligent electronic dashboard to monitor how much energy the home\u2019s connected appliances are using. It also showed how the device could encourage new habits for reducing energy use by providing ongoing information and suggestions on energy use. For example, a homeowner could activate custom settings on the touchscreen display to modify the thermostat temperature, turn off some appliances, or switch on the security system.

\u201cAlways with You\u201d Technology Demonstrations<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Otellini also discussed how smartphones truly embody the era of personal computing. He described how these types of mobile devices are getting increasingly \u201csmarter,\u201d highlighting how 4G technologies, multi-tasking capabilities and better user interfaces are creating exciting new ways for people to use their smartphones.<\/p>\n

To prove his point, he showed off the world\u2019s first demonstration of the LG Electronics <\/a>* GW900 smartphone. The performance and compatibility of Intel\u2019s forthcoming \u201cMoorestown\u201d platform and Linux-based Moblin platform were in full display as the demo spotlighted a range of visually compelling experiences, including a 3-D user interface, HD video and range of multi-tasking scenarios. The LG Electronics GW900 incorporates HSPA today and is extensible to 4G over time to deliver the highest performance and best broadband Internet experience. Additionally, Otellini used a super-sleek \u201cMoorestown\u201d reference platform from Aava Mobile<\/a>* to showcase other performance intensive usages. He also highlighted a reference design of a tablet from OpenPeak<\/a>*.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoorestown\u201d is Intel\u2019s next-generation platform for handhelds and smartphones. It is scheduled to launch during the first half of the year with devices coming to market in the second half.

Augmented Reality Digital Sign<\/strong>
\nOtellini also unveiled a digital sign based on an embedded Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i5 processor that brings the data-richness of online shopping to the in-store shopping experience. The 7-foot-6-inch tall and 10-foot wide prototype uses an LCD display and holographic glass that are both fully touch enabled to enhance the shopping experience with augmented reality-enabled maps that let more than one shopper interact with it simultaneously. The demonstration showed how shoppers could digitally explore merchandise on each floor of the store. It also showed how retailers could superimpose images and sales promotions next to the product visualisations shown on the holographic glass and how shoppers could instantly send the digital coupons to their smartphones. Intel envisions that future digital signs also will enable users to submit feedback on products, read customer reviews, view their past purchase histories and share what they have discovered with their friends via social media and mobile phone integration. Intel anticipates that digital signs based on the Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 microarchitecture could transform the way people interact with digital signs in retail stores, airports, banks, hotels and other environments.<\/p>\n
