Paul Otellini CES Keynote: Chips Ahoy!
Nick Mahar
Intel already announced their new Core i7, i5 and i3 processors earlier today but CEO Paul Otellini may have a few more surprises. Every two years, Intel schedules a breakthrough in chip technology(maybe Apple should change to every two years). Today, they're shipping the first 32nm microprocessors (announced this morning), which are 5,000 times faster than Intel's first ever processor.
We're using the production of Shrek movies as a benchmark of how far we've come. Shrek Forever After is going to take nine times the hours to produce as the original Shrek. Intel is working on another technology called Light Peak that lets you download an entire Blu-ray movie in under 30 seconds. Otellini says it'll come in early 2010. Intel has a new Wireless Display technology that's launching with four partners. The WiDi will available soon at Best Buy. With a $100 adaptor, you can link your TV to your laptop.
Now showing off WiDi, with a Netflix movie loaded onto a laptop playing simultaneously the TV it's connected to.
More is on the way soon.
