Jim Johnson, vice president and general manager of client engineering at Intel, said: "Intel has always delivered leading performance, driven extensive engineering through deep collaboration, and enriched new designs, which will accelerate platform innovation and will bring new computing performance and The command is in human hands. At Computex, Intel is demonstrating its ability to create the platform of the future by spearheading projects like Project Athena to bring AI to PCs and continue to lead the transformation of the PC ecosystem.”

By ensuring that today's PCs are ready for tomorrow's user experiences and workloads amid the explosive growth of data, Intel is pioneering a future of powerful, ambient and seamless computing. A data-centric future requires new platforms that will enable devices to become smarter and more adaptable, allowing people to focus, create and connect in more meaningful ways.

Here are the top five advancements in PC platforms that Intel demonstrated during its technology open house during Computex in Taipei:

Intel's laptop innovation program, codenamed Project Athena, is helping bring people into laptops quickly and seamlessly using an intuitive way of human existence, while extending battery life and helping maintain reliability. At Computex Taipei, Intel demonstrated how it can achieve this more natural way of logging in without manual passwords by using Windows Hello and Intel Context Aware Technology to create a system that helps people stay focused, ready and able to adapt to changes throughout the day. Advanced laptop for character.

Extending this innovation to high-performance systems, Intel demonstrated a new form factor concept codenamed "Honeycomb Glacier" that can provide richer experiences for players and creators. The focus of the Honeycomb Glacier concept is an integrated companion display that provides more screen real estate for gaming and creation in portable devices. This design allows you to access level maps, detailed directories, status and other content without overlapping applications or switching between programs by persistently displaying key information on the companion screen, resulting in a more immersive gaming experience. The accompanying display also allows for simultaneous gaming and live streaming, giving broadcasters the opportunity to interact with their audiences in real time without sacrificing gaming operations.

Intel is working with OEMs to build on this visionary concept and bring to market these accompanying display systems powered by new 9th Generation Intel Core Mobile processors, the first of which is ScreenPad Plus. ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo.

In addition, new laptops will support Wi-Fi 6, which can bring an excellent Wi-Fi experience through routers that support Wi-Fi 6. Intel announced that AVM, Edimax, Elecom, NETGEAR and TP-Link will release new wireless routers this year. Wi-Fi 6 standard router.

Intel is enabling an increasingly immersive, connected and intelligent computing experience. In the future, personal computers must adapt to people's needs and be always connected, always aware, always aware and intelligently informed. In order to understand in advance how computing will develop in the future, the company displayed a prototype of Intel's "Ambient Computing Concept PC" code-named Mohawk River at the exhibition, demonstrating the advancements that future notebook computers will make:

Intel also demonstrated how to use hands-free human interaction methods such as Windows Hello and Intel? Context Sensing Technology to bring advanced laptop experiences, helping people to be more focused, ready at any time, and able to adapt to applications in multiple scenarios throughout the day. .

Software, development tools, operating systems, and hardware are all undergoing rapid transformation to take advantage of deep learning techniques and other modern artificial intelligence technologies. Artificial intelligence will also transform the way people interact with and use their personal computers, including giant leaps in productivity, improvements in dynamic performance, automated content editing, and more.

At Computex Taipei, Intel announced that it would cooperate with Microsoft and Asus to launch the world's first PC-based artificial intelligence development kit and create a new laptop equipped with the latest artificial intelligence software and hardware technology, putting developers at the forefront of artificial intelligence applications. The forefront of development.

This development kit includes a powerful combination of Intel Core processors and Intel HD Graphics, and for the first time introduces the Intel Movidius Myriad X vision processing unit to enable high-performance, low-power artificial intelligence workloads. These three hardware engines will handle a diverse range of AI workloads, delivering comprehensive native AI capabilities to today’s laptops.

The PC-based AI development kit also includes a suite of pre-installed software that enables developers to take it from idea to creation out of the box, including the latest Windows ML libraries, the cross-platform Intel OpenVINO toolkit, and PC All necessary supporting tools for end-to-end AI application development.

Modular computing continues to be a key opportunity for the industry, bringing new opportunities for device manufacturers, PC manufacturers, and anyone in the industry who provides computing solutions to integrate computing and connectivity into everything, including consumers. , commercial and industrial applications.

Today, Intel announced the Intel NUC Compute Unit, which supports the industry standard for modular computing using Intel architecture, standard computing technologies and interfaces. The device integrates Intel processors, memory, network connectivity and other components to power solutions such as laptops, kiosks, smart TVs, home appliances and more. Intel NUC Compute Units deliver incredible performance and amazing connectivity at a lower cost, while making next-generation devices easy to integrate, upgrade, and service compute. One of the partners taking advantage of these advantages is JP, which is integrating the computing unit into JP laptops aimed at higher education, teachers and administrators. By creating designs around compute units, JP is able to offer a wide range of performance options through a single product design, reducing costs while increasing product offerings.

Initially, the NUC Compute Unit will be available with a range of processors, including versions with Intel vPro technology to improve reliability and manageability. The first batch of partners will begin receiving products in the fourth quarter of 2019. Products equipped with Intel NUC computing units are expected to be available in the first half of 2020.

Intel announced the launch of Intel's new generation of Optane technology, Intel Optane technology M15. Intel Optane Technology M15 will be available in the second half of 2009 and will offer higher performance and lower power consumption compared to the previous generation. Combined with the 9th Generation Intel Core mobile and desktop platforms, users will experience shorter boot times, faster app launches, and faster gaming and browsing.

This is all based on the launch of the Intel Optane Hybrid SSD H10 with solid-state storage. This innovative device combines the excellent responsiveness of Intel Optane technology with the powerful storage of Intel Quad Level Cell (QLC) 3D NAND technology. Capacity is combined into space-saving M.2 form factor modules. Integrating high-speed acceleration technology and a large-capacity SSD on a single drive will benefit everyday PC application users, whether creating, playing games, or working, not only by allowing faster access to frequently used applications and files, but also by accelerating the response of background activities.
