Research@Intel Day — Exploring Ways for Silicon to Improve the World

Hey, Bloggers! Come to Research@Intel Day (Wed. June 20, Santa Clara, CA), says Intel’s blog and social media pioneer Josh Bancroft.  Josh was featured in a Wall Street Journal special section article yesterday titled Wikis at Work by Vauhini Vara. 

Research@Intel was born from an effort to do an open labs science fair for Intel employees, but over the years it’s become a great day for international press, analysts, family and others linked to tech industry research interested in seeing what Intel’s  cookin’ up — seems there’s ever more processors in more things, all the time!  This year, I’m looking forward to checking out:

All the places where Intel is looking to queeze more energy efficiency into everything it makes.  Maybe we’ll see some early work that will benefit the recent Intel-Google www.ClimateSaversComputing.org efforts

Sitting today, mobile tomorrow — energy efficiency plays super well towards the trend of helping people to be more mobile, rather than tethered to an office, a wire or whatever keeps people from doing what they need and want to do.  Wireless, security, video, voice, future devices and meet new needs.  Maybe we’ll get to see updates on projects like this

Era of Tera — multi-core processors — many slivers of silicon built together on one chip — is rapidly pulling on to the horizon computers that can do trillions of floating-point operations-per-second (terFLOPS) of performance and terabytes of bandwidth.  Maybe we’ll learn more about research around 80-Core chips like this story

  • CES 2010 - Light Peak January 8, 2010
    I was overwhelmed by the interest received on my initial post on Light Peak a few months ago. Plenty of questions and ideas were raised on the potential of a single IO port for multiple protocols and support for power; all over an optical connector. Clearly there is a lot of excitement surrounding high speed optics, and the many benefits that can come to com […]

  • New Super-Efficient Atom Processors Sip Energy December 21, 2009
    Atom was always designed from the ground-up for low power, but the next generation Atom platform announced today for netbooks and entry-level desktops just got better. The new processors are manufactured on Intel’s 45nm process technology, enabling the integration of graphics and memory controller directly on the CPU die, an Intel first. The result: a […]

  • Optimizing, Personalizing Mobile Internet Devices January 6, 2010
    As the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off 2010, I have my eyes on shiny new gadgets that will be hitting the market, especially new Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). In 2009, we saw many new devices from Viliv, UMID and others. Often when I shared these devices with friends or family, some would say the devices were too small. Others said they weren’t s […]
