Intel, Industry Shaping Future of Computing on Intel Architecture

Next Wave of Ultrabook Devices Now Available; Intel Signs Agreements for Touch Capacity to Meet Expected Demand.


Intel Corporation Senior Vice President Tom Kilroy officially introduced the next wave of Ultrabook devices during a keynote address at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2012. Making a bold statement around the importance of touch technology, Kilroy also announced that Intel has signed agreements with several leading touch-panel manufacturers to ensure adequate capacity to meet the expected demand for touch-enabled Ultrabook experiences over the next several years.


More than 35 new ultra-sleek, ultra-responsive Ultrabook devices 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 and made with the world's most advanced 22nm 3D tri-gate transistors, 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


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 e-mail and social networks automatically updated even while the Ultrabook sleeps, 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 devices is equipped with enhanced security features, including Intel Anti-Theft Technology1, which 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 Protection2 technology built in to keep people’s identity safe and ensure that their favorite Websites and social networks know it's really them logging in.


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.


"Thank you to our partners here in Taiwan and the computing industry at large for the unprecedented innovation to bring the Ultrabook to life in such a short time," said Kilroy. "But we're just getting started."


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. Kilroy said touch will also help fuel even more innovation and new experiences, particularly for Ultrabook convertibles that offer a truly no-compromise computing experience.



The Future: Computers that See, Hear and Feel


Kilroy 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.


Kilroy demonstrated for the first time a multi-language voice experience based on Nuance's Dragon engine and speech technology optimized for Intel architecture on an Ultrabook. Announced in January, the companies are collaborating to provide a great 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.


Kilroy said the company is working on future technologies that could let people engage more naturally and intuitively with a variety of devices, from the Ultrabook or smart phone to everyday intelligent systems. Such applications could include perceptual computing and intuitive and immersive short-range gesture recognition, using smart phones 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.


1. (Anti-Theft) No system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Requires an enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware, and software, and a subscription with a capable service provider. Consult your system manufacturer and service provider for availability and functionality. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.
