3rd Generation Intel Core Processors Bring Exciting New Experiences and Fun to the PC

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.

MEGAWORLD: The Philippines’ No. 1 Residential Condo Developer and BPO Developer and Landlord

Megaworld Corporation emerged as The Philippines' No.1 residential condominium developer from 2000 to 2011 —over a decade—in a study conducted recently by CB Richard Ellis. According to the firm, Megaworld cornered a 16 percent share of the market, rolling out more than 40,000 residential units with a total aggregate saleable area of about 1.9 million square meters.

The CB Richard Ellis study is supported by a report released earlier by Colliers International citing Megaworld as the No.1 residential developer from 2010 to 2016, based on the number of residential units completed and their saleable area. The figures solidify Megaworld's continued leadership in the tightly contested condominium market.
