COMPUTING power of the
processors keeps on going bigger and faster, thanks to chip
manufacturing giant Integrated Microelectronics (Intel). In
a recent media briefing, Intel Asia-Pacific director of product
marketing Leighton Philips led the launch of the quad-core
third-generation Intel Core processor family called Ivy Bridge, which
delivers dramatic visual and performance computing gains for gamers,
media enthusiasts and mainstream users alike.
Available now in
powerful, high-end desktop, laptop and sleek all-in-one (AIO) designs,
the new processors are the first chips in the world made using Intel’s
22-nanometer (nm) 3D tri-gate transistor technology.
With
as much as 20 percent microprocessor performance improvements and new
technologies to speed the flow of data to and from the chips, Philips
said the new processors further extend Intel’s overall performance
leadership.
He
added new Intel Core processors will provide users the ultimate
computing experience because it provides them with various options on
their PCs creating and editing videos and photos, surfing the Web,
watching HD movies or playing mainstream games (my fav).
“Our
life experiences are defined by our senses—by what we see, hear and
touch,” said Philips. “These human senses are also at the foundation of
Intel’s vision for the ultrabook to deliver a no-compromise, must-have
computing experience,” said Philips in his presentation.
“Today,
thanks to the work of the industry at-large, we are one step closer to
meeting that vision with the arrival of the next wave of 3rd-generation
Intel Core processor-powered devices. The innovation must continue as we
move to touch-based ultrabook convertible designs, and in the future
aim to give them and other devices senses, making our interaction with
them natural and intuitive.”
According
to Intel, more than 35 new ultra-sleek, ultra-responsive ultrabook
systems are available or will be for purchase within 30 days, with more
than 110 designs expected in the next year. Powered by the new
processors, these ultrabook devices are more responsive and offer
enhanced security in a selection of stylish designs for consumers and
business users.
In
addition to increased responsiveness and enhanced security features,
ultrabook devices powered by the new processors deliver up to two times
the media and graphics performance compared to the previous generation,
long battery life and offer more choice of stylish, thin designs. Philips
said the new wave of ultrabook devices wakes up in a flash, meaning
systems will shift from hibernation mode to an active state in less than
seven seconds and will also load favorite applications quickly.
Intel
Smart Connect Technology helps keep e-mail and social networks
automatically updated even while the ultrabook sleeps, effectively
conserving power and battery life.
He
said Intel has also given security a big importance to give consumers a
strong peace of mind in the protection of their data and personal
assets. This will be done by the equipping the next wave of ultrabook
with enhanced security features, including the Intel Anti-Theft
Technology that lets users automatically disable the system if it is
lost or stolen.
Additionally,
all third-generation Intel Core processor-based ultrabook devices will
have Intel Identity Protection technology built in to keep peoples’
identity safe and ensure that their favorite websites and social
networks know it’s really them when logging in.
The
company is looking forward into the picture by working on future
technologies that could let people engage more naturally and intuitively
with a variety of devices, from the ultrabook or smartphone to everyday
intelligent systems. Such applications may include perceptual
computing, intuitive and immersive short-range gesture recognition,
using smartphones to interact with and control an ultrabook or desktop
PC, or even track a person’s heart rate through technology that “sees”
and analyzes the movement of a person’s cheeks.
