10:29: Next great things: Visual Computing (graphics and real-time visual computing), Mobility, Health…

10:26: Parallel Computing. that is clearly a hot topic. whether you work on a problem that is parallel by nature, having more cores can help… a lot. Right now, the professional sector is the target, but consumers plus have many needs that would gain from having massive amounts of cores: video/audio compression, image processing…

10:23: What’s coming next?

Platform capability Management : keep the system in sleep mode for longer periods of day. Well, it sounds simple, but it did require a ton of work in the hardware and the software. I noticed that Intel started to work on a bunch of small energy gains, that put together, makes a noticeable difference.

10:20: WiMAX: additionally a project that the Intel Architecture Labs got interested in back in 1999. In 2002, a few start-ups

acquisitions helped develop the first chips. In 2008 Intel is expected to bring WiMAX to the mass market in force. At CES 2008, we’ve seen a demo of it.

10:13: vPro: IT management solutions integrated in the platform. Well, it makes IT’s work easier, but that’s not really the most exciting part of your computer

10:10: Atom: the notion of an ultra-low capability X86 processor started in 1999 in the Microprocessor Research Lab (MRL). that is something that has not been publicized since the public announcement, but is a great example of long-term research.

10:05: Ok, the keynote has started and Justin Rattner, an intel senior fellow is presenting.

09:57: The keynote is about to start, our friends from Nikkei are here (below: Akiko Tanaka)

09:00: Ok, we’re in, I have ventured on the showfloor to talk to the engineers for 15mn or so, but PR was kind decent to remind me that the breakfast is in the other room. I can tell you that Intel is going to demo an updated version of the Quake Engine, using ray-tracing…
