We took the silicon core of an Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessor, a camera and a microphone to the Las Vegas Strip here at CES 2008… and asked people ‘What is this thing?”
See the reactions for yourself.
For those who haven’t seen one, they’re quite beautiful and extraordinary. Fans of good design will marvel at the mind-boggling intricacy of 400-million transistors in about the size of a dime. All brought to you by Intel’s leading 45nm process technology.
Transistors are the tiny switches that process the ones and zeroes of the digital world. They make everything on the Internet and in your computer possible… including this sentence.
For comparison, approximately 400 of Intel’s 45nm transistors could fit on the surface of a single human red blood cell.

When leaving the Las Vegas Convention Center, don’t wait in the cab line — walk straight up the cross street it’s on and there’s a hotel. Never a wait for cabs. It’s about two blocks away. Zero line.
After waiting for a cab for 45 minutes today, I definitely need some transportation game.
“The stage has transformed into China, and he’s demoing a device very similar to what Gates had last night — you hold it up to a sign in Mandarin and it real-time converts it to English. Pretty cool. Now he’s holding it up against a restaurant and showing how it displays the menu and video reviews on the screen, also in real time, and the data “sticks” to a physical object. He refers to it as “augmented reality.” Very sci-fi.”

As expected, the personal internet is a big deal here at CES and getting to the front of Intel’s Mobile Internet Device (MID) bar is no easy feat. Some of the buzz we’re reading about so far:
* We came to see the Intel MIDs
* Intel’s Menlow devices in action
When I bought my new printer/fax/scanner/copier last week, I neglected to consider the “you will be permanently tethered by a USB cable to this thing” factor. WUSB suddenly became an interesting topic to me, so I’m glad to see that, according to Engadget, Intel will showing new WUSB technology at CES. No word on free samples.
