This is Intel's way of saying "We are going to steal the attention away and if you don't like it, f-you" and we are loving every second of it! Its basically two mammoth, HD screens in the Intel booth showing hundreds of realtime web stories from everyone everywhere in mind blowing 3D. The amazing part is the entire setup is apparently powered by a single i7 processor. Hats off to Intel for this groundbreaking and completely useless piece of tech!

Oh please Apple, please put this on the iPhone! This stuff is mind blowing and its already in 65 products, including the Dell Adamo, and a veryity of smartphones. Gorilla Glass is an unscratchable, unshatterable material used as a protective window for your media player, smartphone or lappy screen. Products with Gorilla Glass cost a little extra, but that means your device is indestructible, so in a way its totally worth it!

Paul Otellini CES Keynote: Chips Ahoy!

Nick Mahar Jan 7, 2010 Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Us Gadgets, Hardware, breaking

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.
