Innovations Showcase: Which Way to Go? 

Yes, he did touch upon a topic that we are all very anxious to know more about: multi-core technology from Intel. And to warm up this interest even more we could see a really nice demonstration performed by Steve Pawlowski, which roughly illustrated the power and advantages of multi-core technology from Intel.

Multicore processing. According to Intel, next year over 80% of our processors will be multicore. And they will boast significantly increased performance. Intel is truly excited about it. The current situation in the market indicates that there is still tremendous demand for performance without increasing the power. End-users want it in the first place. Here is an application that was working on a dual-core based CPU system:

This interface uses human hand as a sensor that allows rotating the database and selecting the desired files and folders. This is an example of a platform that will feature very user-friendly interactive interface. This system will support voice recognition, hand writing recognition, and other thing that will make it more usable for the consumer.

As you may have already understood, platforms are the major topic of discussion this time for both: Intel and partners. Today we had an opportunity to see a few platforms of the future:

Entertainment PC 2005

Entertainment PC 2006

These are a few 2005 and 2006 examples of a great entertainment PC based on dual-core CPU. This gives you a perfect idea what you should expect this year to see in the entertainment PC at home: high-definition audio and video and content protection are the key issues that will be addressed in systems of the kind.

This a new model of digital office with enhanced data integrity and security, and great interactive capabilities.

This stylish modern design is Craig?s favorite: he claims it is also bug-proof and can be easily transformed into a protective helmet :)
