This video shows some behind-the-scenes footage of Renee’s keynote address to developers in San Francisco, and some soundbites about her leadership style.
One of the amazing minds and personalities behind Intel’s mobile technology innovation is Mooly Eden, who made a brief yet powerful appearance during Dadi Perlmutter’s keynote on Day Two of IDF.
After that keynote, Mooly hosted a briefing to a packed room. Here’s a video shot form the crowd. Wanna see it, here it goes:
Wednesday was jam-packed with innovation. It continued to be the theme across sessions—in the technology showcase, in the keynotes, and on those really big whiteboards. (video) I saw so much that engaged me, I’ve had a hard time cutting it down into a single blog post.
At IDF09, the Intel Architecture Group’s mobility innovation team unveiled “Tangent Bay.”
It’s the first multi-touch, multi-screen concept laptop based on research and feedback from people who multi-task with work, media creation, entertainment and social networking.
We got our first peek at it during the MobilityMeetup on Monday.
The day after the MobilityMeetup, I got the chance to bring my camera to meet the team as they demonstrated two prototypes inside the Intel Developer Forum Technology Showcase.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini kicked off the Intel Developer Forum in a big way talking about the benefits of getting small. He showed a wafer filled with Intel’s first 22nm SRAM test chips.
Here’s what one looks like up close and here are some facts about 22nm, including:
The 22nm test circuits include both SRAM memory and logic circuits to be used on 22nm microprocessors.
SRAM cells of 0.108 and 0.092 square microns function in an array totaling 364 million bits. The 0.108 square micron cell is optimized for low voltage operation. The .092 square micron cell is optimized for high density and is the smallest SRAM cell in working circuits reported to date.
The test chip packs 2.9 billion transistors, at approximately double the density of the previous 32nm generation, in an area as small as a fingernail.
The 22nm dimensions are patterned with exposure tools using light with a wavelength of 193nm, a remarkable testament to the ingenuity of Intel’s lithography engineers.
This 22nm technology continues to deliver the promise of Moore’s Law: smaller transistors, improved performance/watt and lower cost per transistor.
Lots to take in at IDF this year, and as usual I could not see all I wanted to. Here’s a list of stuff that stood out to me this year
Light Peak: Light Peak is a connectivity technology using light to transmit data to and from your PC, and does it EXTREMELY FAST. It transfers at 10 Gigabits per second. Think of it this way, if a typical network runs at 10Mbps. this is a 1000 times faster. So for the same speed of transferring a 100 Meg file you could transfer 100 Gigs. It’s also full duplex. So you can pull in content as fast as you can push it out. Meaning you can watch a HD video while also transferring large amounts of data. Cable length can go up to 100 meters, which is amazing.
The first Intel Code Breaker Challenge at IDF 2009 concluded last night and we’re pleased to announce the winners of the contest. Almost 100 people entered the challenge this year.
The winners were as follows:
First Place — AKA the “Intel Code Breaker 2009” — Tareq Saif a student from San Pablo, California won an HP notebook computer with a quad-core Intel Centrino2 processor.
Second place— Alan Yee from Cisco systems in San Jose, California won a Dell Netbook with an Intel Atom processor.
Third place — Martin Wojtczyk of Bayer Healthcare in Berkley, California won an HP MediaSmart home server.
If you have been working on the puzzles and would like the answers here they are:
Puzzle 1 — 121801
Puzzle 2 — 6983104110102
Early next week, we will be posting a video with puzzle 2 creator Mike Kounavis that will explain how to solve it.
Thanks to everyone that played the game. We hope to see you again next year at IDF2010.
He talked about the future of television being available on any Interent connected device, the rise of 3-D video and moviemaking, and what he enjoys most about working at Intel: creating the future with innovative people.
This morning, after ample caffeination (kindly provided by the folks at IDF), I had the opportunity to listen to the keynote given by Dadi Perlmutter, who spoke about the evolving arena of mobile computing and how this vision of the total mobile experience deserves to earn the moniker of “cool” from everyone from the middle-aged tech geek to the rebellious teenage daughter.
The Eric Kim keynote kicked off with a demonstration of a variety of engaging, future-forward applications, for television in particular. Of course, the Star Trek analogies emerged. The special surprise was a guest appearance by LeVar Burton, who pumped up the crowd, calling for innovation and creativity, and reminding us that flip phones started life as fictional tricorders.
