Five years ago while most of us are just using the computer to connect to the Internet, do work, or play games, the team at Intel have already started working on the technologies for today. Last night, Intel Corporation introduced its all-new 2010 Intel Core family processors that will deliver exceptional integration and smart performance. More than 25 processors, wireless adapters and chipsets, including new Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors, Intel 5 Chipsets, and Intel Centrino Wi-Fi and WiMAX adapters that include new Intel My WiFi features, were unveiled during the launch.

Forget going through all the complex process of overclocking so you can squeeze every little bit of juice your processor can produce, the new Core i7 and i5 processors comes with Intel Turbo Boost Technology that automatically boosts its performance to adapt to individual needs. The new 2010 Intel Core embedded processors on the other hand, targets at devices such as ticket kiosks, ATMs, medical equipment and even industrial machines. Intel also introduced more than 10 new chipsets and new 802.11n WiFi and WiMAX products with the new Intel My WiFi features.

“For the first time, there’s a new family of Intel processors with the industry’s most advanced technology available immediately for the mass market at a variety of attractive price points. These smart processors adapt to an individual’s needs, automatically providing a ‘boost’ of performance for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance when end users need it, and energy efficient when they don’t.” -- Ryaz Patel, Country Manager, Sales and Marketing, Intel Malaysia.

Speed Meets Intelligence
Based on Intel’s award-winning “Nehalem” microarchitecture, these new desktop, mobile and embedded processors deliver smart performance for music, gaming, videos, movies, photos, social networking and other demanding mainstream applications. In addition, ultra-thin laptops with all new 2010 Intel Core processors inside provide a balance of performance, style and long battery life for sleek systems less than an inch thick.

New Core i7 and Core i5 processors also feature exclusive Intel Turbo Boost Technology1 and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology2 for adaptive performance, and thus smarter computing. Intel Turbo Boost Technology1 automatically and intelligently accelerates performance, dynamically adjusting to the workload to give users an immediate performance boost when needed. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology2 enables smart multi-tasking by allowing each processing core to run multiple “threads,” providing amazing responsiveness and great performance, balanced with industry-leading energy efficiency when processing several tasks simultaneously.

Supporting the all-new 2010 Intel Core processors, the Intel 5 Series Chipset is the company’s first single-chip chipset solution, evolving from simply connecting components to providing a range of innovation and capabilities. The Intel Core family also has power-saving techniques like one Intel calls “hurry up and get idle” or “HUGI,” which enable processors to finish tasks quickly, while preserving battery life.

The all-new 2010 Intel Core processor family is the first to integrate graphics into mainstream PC processors. With Intel HD Graphics, the processors deliver stunning visuals and smooth high-definition (HD) video playback. It’s also the industry’s first integrated solution to deliver multi-channel Dolby* TrueHD and DTS* Premium Suite home theatre audio. In addition, Intel HD Graphics support mainstream and casual 3-D gaming without the need for an add-in video card, and offer full support for the new Microsoft Windows* 7 operating system.

Another intuitive feature available to mainstream notebook buyers includes Intel Switchable Graphics, which allows users who play very graphics-intense games to automatically switch between Intel’s integrated graphics to a discrete version on the fly, without having to re-boot, for optimal battery life and performance.

Beyond Laptops and Desktops – Embedded Processors
The new 2010 Intel Core embedded processors target devices that leverage PC-like operations in the smarter connected world, including ticket kiosks and self check-out machines, ATMs, digital signs, medical equipment, communications gear and industrial machines. For example, system owners at a bank or retail store can better manage their ATMs, kiosks or a smart register using these processor platforms. These embedded devices can optimize workloads, conserve power consumption, remotely manage their connected network, and even gather metrics based on video analytics for more effective advertising campaigns.

Intel also expanded the performance-per-watt platform choices for embedded by adding error correcting code memory for applications that require a higher data integrity standard. The embedded processors, together with Intel 5 Series chipsets, offer an extended, seven-year life cycle that better matches how long these devices are in the marketplace.

Wireless Products, WiMAX and More
The Intel Centrino brand now represents Intel’s wireless products, targeting a broader range of users than ever before. Three new Intel Centrino Wireless adapters feature advanced 802.11n multi-stream capabilities and dual-band support for WiFi, offering users up to 8 times greater speed3, consistent coverage and reliable connectivity while consuming minimal power. Intel offers a complete line of high-quality adapters and its integrated WiMAX/WiFi adapter supports 2.3, 2.5 and 3.5GHz WiMAX bands delivering up to 20Mbps on the go.

All the adapters support Intel My WiFi Technology, which allows users to turn their laptop into a virtual hotspot and directly connect wireless devices to their laptop. Remote WiFi client management with Intel Embedded IT and Intel Active Management Technology 6.0 to enable remote client management for the enterprise.

In addition, entry-level workstations now available based on Core i5 with Intel HD graphics or an Intel Xeon 3400 series processors and the Intel 3450 Chipset give users access to a workstation platform built around the efficiency, power and reliability demanded of a professional workstation.
Intel will also offer the new 2010 Intel Core processor family on Intel vPro Technology later in the quarter. These platforms will help IT managers and corporations take advantage of hardware-assisted security and manageability capabilities, enhancing their ability to maintain, manage and protect their business PCs.

Win a trip to the edge of space
It doesn’t take millions of Ringgit to travel to space; all you need is a couple of hundreds of Ringgit to buy an Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU and you stand a chance to fly over 82,000 feet from Earth. Malaysia has been one of the lucky 10 countries in the world to be eligible for this contest. This promotion runs from January 15 to April 15 2010.
