Intel updates on Sandy Bridge
CHIPMAKER Intel announced "Vision of the Future" services in a keynote speech at this year's Intel Developers Forum (IDF) yesterday.
David Perlmutter, executive vice president and co-general manager of the Intel architecture group, announced a slew of services couched in Mystic Meg style predictions.
Perlmutter touched on "Sandy Bridge", Intel's next processor line due for manufacturing later this year. This will have Intel's Hi-K 32nm technology and support advanced vector extension instructions. The processor will also offer Intel's sixth-generation graphics core.
Intel will also join the Smart TV brigade with its Atom CE4100 system on a chip (SoC) processor set to be bundled into set top boxes and Blu-ray drives. The processor is designed to deliver ultra low power consumption performance but still be capable of HD visuals, graphics and audio decoding.
Perlmutter then wrapped up with word of a PC manufacturer partnership to co-develop a "convertible classmate PC". Intel is working with Tongfang and Hanvon to build a model with improved e-reading functionality.
The second keynote was delivered by Renee James, senior vice president and general manager of the software and services group at Intel. James believes the industry has endorsed Intel and Nokia's merged open source projects. She said Meego was already good to go with a host of OEM partners in the bag.
She ended her speech with news that Chinese ISVs and developers can submit applications for Intel's Atom developer programme. Although that's still in beta, applications can be made and circulated on Intel's Appup Centre. µ

Ignorant and stupid at the same time!
Firstly: AMD is the reason why Intel processors have been affordable than they would've been. Clearly, you weren't around when Pentium III's were priced extremely high; and it wasn't until the Athlon came around, did Intel CPUs fell dramatically in price.
In the real world, competition is a good thing. Especially for the consumer...Not everyone enjoys being a moron that pays high prices. (Except for yourself.)
Secondly: Do you enjoy changing your mobo every time Intel releases a new CPU series? Sandy Bridge is going to need a new socket. LGA1366 owners have invested into a dead-end. (Rather expensive one).
Thirdly: Intel IGP performance sucks balls...It'll still suck balls with Sandy Bridge.
Forthly: MeeGo is for Netbooks, Pocketables, in-vehicle systems, media phones, and web capable TVs. It is NOT for the Desktop PC market. (There is no way that it'll replace Windows or systems with the Windows tax.)
From Here Table is Evolving to MOORE Pins, Moores Law, in effect as Tranees' Follow Pin Count. Two Thousand Lot More than ~940Club.
Pin Ball Wizzaer....So Yes, Jill, there IS Compuer In Future Soon Enough & That Be Foot Stool Home & Education, Giant Screen & More, Eye Tel U Moore, More.more....
drashek dAdubblar. Then Icann Map Ye Pin Tree & VM Info & yes, Double Agin'.? That will be MY New Invention, theWORKSTATION.Multee'K.Ore.
What did AMD ever do to the x86 industry but good?
AMD developed x86-64, and is the only x86 manufacturer that offers Intel any sort of competition.
If AMD does die away lets see if Intel will make any of its cpus affordable.
The only reason intel is forced to price its cpus at an agreeable price point is that AMD products are competitive at those price points.
I remeber when the pentium II system was priced as much as a small car,
Amd's k62 finally allowed people from third world countries to have computers because of its low price point.
Intel was forced to come out with the celeron. Then Amd got the athlon out where Intel countered with the P4 etc
Up to now MAD offers a a valuable service not only to people who buy AMD products but even to Intel buyers.
AMD keeps Intel on its toes.
I like it and I hope he will follow Paul Otellini's to put Intel Inside Everything. I want to see Intel's effort in developing its Linux based MeeGo to change expensive Windows OS in majority Intel's powered products. Because I don't want to see Microsoft tax in many Intel powered products. I wish Sandy Bridge based processors are successful products that puts final nail in AMD's coffin.
You mean "got a new '6' sticker and plopped it over the '5' sticker"?
Laughable useless GFX is still laughable and useless.
Yes I just predicted the future, and it sucks!
