Cebu City, Philippines, June 29,
2012 – Intel Philippines marketing manager Randy Kanapi yesterday introduced
the quad-core 3rd generation Intel Core processor family, which
delivers dramatic visual and performance computing gains for gamers, media
enthusiasts and mainstream users alike, during a keynote address at the Intel
Ivy Bridge launch in Cebu. 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) 3-D 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, the new processors further extend
Intel’s overall performance leadership. All the things people love to do on
their PCs — from creating and editing videos and photos, surfing the Web,
watching HD movies or playing mainstream games — are now quicker, crisper and
more life-like.
Kanapi also
highlighted the company's efforts to deliver user-centric experiences across a
range of mobile devices from the Ultrabook to smartphones and tablets, pointing
to momentum across all three.
"Our life
experiences are defined by our senses -- by what we see, hear and touch,"
said Kanapi. "These human senses are also at the foundation of Intel's
vision for the Ultrabook to deliver a no-compromise, must-have computing
experience.”
“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."
More than 35 new
ultra-sleek, ultra-responsive Ultrabook systems are available now or will be
for purchase within 30 days, with more than 110 designs expected in the next
year. Powered by 3rd generation Intel Core processors, these new Ultrabook
devices are more responsive and offer enhanced security in a selection of
stylish designs for consumers and business users.
Next Wave of
Ultrabook Devices Bring More Responsiveness, Enhanced Security
In addition to
increased responsiveness and enhanced security features, Ultrabook devices
powered by the new 3rd generation Intel Core 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.
This new wave of
Ultrabook devices wakes up in a flash, meaning systems will transition from
hibernation mode to an active state in less than 7 seconds and will also load
favorite applications quickly1. Intel® Smart Connect Technology helps
keep email and social networks automatically updated even while the Ultrabook
sleeps, thus conserving power and battery life.
As security becomes
more important to consumers who want peace of mind in the protection of their
data and personal assets, the next wave of Ultrabook systems is equipped with
enhanced security features, including Intel® Anti-Theft Technology that
lets users automatically disable the system if it is lost or stolen.
Additionally, all
3rd generation Intel Core processor-based Ultrabook devices 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 Ultrabook is
also now coming to the enterprise. Built with the 3rd generation Intel®
Core™ vPro™ processor platform, these Ultrabook devices provide businesses the
security and performance to compute with confidence in the stylish and innovate
designs business users desire.
Touch-Enabled,
Ultrabook Convertible Designs Offer No-Compromise Experiences
First announced by
Intel just over a year ago, the Ultrabook category ushers in a new era of
computing that has been quickly fueled by innovation from the broad industry.
Later this year,
Intel and the industry will further evolve Ultrabook devices with the addition
of touch-based experiences. Intel believes that touch capability is a key
component to the Ultrabook experience and will be increasingly important across
a wide range of devices. Touch will also help fuel even more innovation and new
experiences, particularly for Ultrabook convertibles that offer a truly
no-compromise computing experience.
Bringing the Best of
Intel Technology to Smartphones, Tablets
Intel is committed
to delivering a great all-around and secure smartphone experience, including
fast browsing and downloads, great multitasking, a brilliant camera, great graphics
and video performance with competitive battery life.
Intel-based tablets
will extend the smartphone experience while offering compatibility with the
extensive library of existing applications and devices. The company has 20
design wins based on the forthcoming 32nm Intel® Atom™ SoC, codenamed
"Clover Trail," and designed for Microsoft* Windows* 8. Whether in
slate, convertible or other innovative designs, these tablets will be capable
of delivering an always-on, always-connected experience that includes very thin
solutions and all-day battery life.
The combination of
Windows 8 with Intel inside is designed to give users the ability to run new
applications offered in the fast and fluid Windows 8 user interface, while also
supporting the existing Windows applications people know and use today.
The Future:
Computers that See, Hear and Feel
Intel challenged the
industry to shape the future of computing experiences by giving computers
senses, or the ability to see, hear and feel much like people do. The addition
of the touch-enabled experiences to the Ultrabook is only the beginning.
Announced in
January, Intel and its partners are collaborating to provide a great multi-language
voice experience to consumers. With this solution, users can check and update their
social media sites, initiate voice over IP calls, search the Internet and
control their media. Users can also control the Ultrabook when not connected to
the Internet by using their voice to quickly and easily launch applications,
play local media and multi-task.
Intel is 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 could 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.
