IDF 2008 San Francisco

Jason Lopez — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:36:27 +0000

The Intel Developer Forum has evolved into one of the most important technology events of the year. For anyone making hardware and software, IDF provides a way to learn about critical advances in chip design, and it gives Intel the opportunity to get feedback from developers. For the rest of the world, IDF is where Intel’s latest thinking comes to light about the way people use computers and how to design better chips. At the upcoming IDF, Intel will give insights into next generation microarchitecture, mobile Internet devices, nettops and netbooks, consumer electronics, and embedded computing. In this video podcast, we take a brief look back at past IDFs leading up to this August 19-21 in San Francisco’s Moscone Center West.

Shanghai IDF Preview, with Intel’s Pat Gelsinger

Michael Johnson — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:00:38 +0000

In this podcast, a preview of this year’s Spring IDF 2008, bringing thousands of hardware and software engineers from around the world to Shanghai, China, for a developer forum with a telling theme: “Invent the New Reality.”

Intel Senior Vice President and Digital Enterprise Group co-GM Pat Gelsinger speaks with PodTech’s Michael Johnson about what is going to happen at the event in Shanghai.

Here, Gelsinger talks about the scheduled keynotes and new mobile internet devices based on the Intel Atom processor. Gelsinger shares his fondest memories of IDF over the years.

If you aren’t attending in person, that’s not a problem. Intel blogs will keep the information flowing in both directions with regular updates, photos and video.

If you’re not attending the event in person, be sure to follow online at Intel’s IDF pages and check in here for more video podcast coverage.

Sights and Sounds of IDF in Beijing

Jason Lopez — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:48:24 +0000

Beijing as a backdrop was more than symbolic for IDF in 2007. Intel does more than manufacture in China. The company does some heavy research and it plans to do more around mobility and Tera-scale chips. Although Intel has held IDF for years in Beijing, this time it came with an unmistakable energy. The Olympics are next year and construction of the stadium and other athletic facilities were in high gear just blocks from the Beijing International Convention Center. But one need only hail a cab and venture to far parts of the city to see hundreds of cranes in the sky and witness the most dynamic economic growth in modern human history. Another clue to the enthusiasm: the people themselves who seem as though they are getting to ready to take the world stage as Olympic hosts next year and as participants in the world economy. In this video podcast, PodTech captures the hardly exhaustive sights and sounds of IDF and Beijing.

IDF Beijing: Doing More with Less

Jason Lopez — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 03:21:09 +0000

The day 1 keynotes at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing featured CTO Justin Rattner and Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president of the Digital Enterprise Group. They talked about new developments at the company. Rattner filled in some detail around Intel’s research efforts (and explained the critical importance of China in these initiatives–the company plans to build a new fab in the northeast-China city of Dalian) as well as offered a lively demonstration of 80-core Tera-scale technology.

Pat Gelsinger, who helped shepherd Tera-scale research, offered insights into the Penryn microprocessor and the products it will power after its release later this year. He also talked about highly parallel, IA programmable architecture codename “Larrabee.” Also in the keynote podcast, Gelsinger unveils QuickAssist Technology to optimize the use of accelerators in servers, and Tolapai to integrate the memory controller, I/O controller hubs and an Intel QuickAssist Technology accelerator into a single processor.

Intel Core Challenge: Then There Were Two

Jason Lopez — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 11:15:49 +0000

Last week four judges–IDEO Founder David Kelley, former PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Michael Miller, GQ Associate Editor Kevin Sintumuang, and Intel CEO Paul Otellini–gave the finalist PCs in the Core 2 Challenge a once-over. A few designs that made the top ten happen to be top secret and can’t be shown publicly. Still, the four judges decided to move two overlooked PCs into the finalist pool. And from those they chose the winner and the runner-up. The winning system will be revealed at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing on Tuesday, April 17th.
