Preview of Innovate and Integrate Keynote at IDF09

posted by Ken Kaplan on August 26, 2009

UPDATE: Intel Executive Vice President of Intel’s Architecuture Group Sean Maloney will replace Pat Gelsinger as keynote presenter at the Intel Developer Forum on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. PT.

Senior VP and General Manager of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group Pat Gelsinger is one of Intel’s grandest geeks and gets gitty about his favorite tech industry gatherings of all, the Intel Developer Forum.

We like catching Pat and other IDF keynoters on camera to tease some of the topics they’re planning to share on stage because thekeynotes are where we see tech demonstrations and new announcements made public for the first time.

Pat hops on stage during Day One at 1:00 p.m. PT, following Intel CEO Paul Otellini’s IDF kickoff keynote.

He says he’ll be sharing deeper insights into Intel codenames and strategies for future products, including Larrabee.

He says to watch for new initiatives, including one for really big, scaleable datacenters.

He’ll talk about Intel Xeon processors moving into the “mission critical” computing space, and says to watch for first ever demos and first peeks at projects that got their start inside Intel Labs.

VIDEO REMOVED.

Nehalem played a big role during IDF 2008. Many new details were introduced during keynotes and in briefings, including features built into the microarchitecture like Turbo Mode, which allow the cores to dynamically scale up to handle demanding needs like video encoding or scale down to use just enough of a core to finish a simple task like typing.

Just after IDF 2008 in San Francisco, we visited some of the engineers who played a role in the making of the Intel Core i7 processor. This video was create just as the first Nehalem designed processors for consumers were about to hit the market. We visited design and testing labs in Hillsboro, Oregon and Santa Clara, California.
