Podcast -- Tick-Tock & Opening Doors for IT Value

posted by Ken Kaplan on September 22, 2007

In this audio highlights Podcast from Pat Gelsinger’s Keynote @ IDF, Pat talks about how faster, sequential design and product life cycles (a.k.a. inside Intel as “Tick Tock”) are opening new doors for IT pros focusing on ROI. He hit on three specific areas: * Virtualization — Intel has been re-plumbing entire platforms so they’re built for the potential benefits that exist and will appear in the future (visit Intel’s Wiki). * Manageability — with each new generation of Intel’s vPro technology, remote manageability and computer fleet maintenance keep reaching new heights * Security — the importance of having tight control of your datacenter

Virtual Worlds Spread, Opening Real World Possibilities

posted by Ken Kaplan on September 21, 2007

In this photo slideshow Podcast, hear and see highlights from Intel CTO Justin Rattner’s keynote that wrapped up the Intel Developer Forum on Thursday.

It was visually spectacular. Justin’s overall message? The underlying technologies driving the spread of virtual world experiences like Second life are improving. Ever richer, on-demand 3-D Internet experiences will continue to improve and become more relevant to real life needs as high bandwidth and real time, fast frame rate software is trained to harness more computer processing power. Maybe like one of those teraflops chips with 80-cores?

VIDEO: Mario Paniccia talks Silicon Photonics

posted by Nick Knupffer on September 17, 2007

Short post this time - I am at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco and our illustrious Silicon Photonics guru Mario just delivered a stirling speech about the recent breakthrough in Silicon Germanium photodetectors. See Sean’s blog about it.

Check out the youtube video below - it is one of many on our Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/channelintel

Kevin Kahn (who I also accosted in the corridor) said this about the new Silicon Germanium photodetectors : “This is clearly the next important piece of the puzzle to make progress on our overall mission to fill system oriented applications of photonics in the future - and as such a very important breakthrough!”

Social Media: Friend or Foe at Your Company?

posted by Ken Kaplan on September 15, 2007

It’s not even lunchtime. You’re blogging, making social and career connections in Facebook. What does your company think about that?!

There’s a trend of companies bringing social media tools into the enterprise. To do this, often it takes cross teams working together to make things work correctly, securely and remain manageable. That’s not always easy. Seems more and more that these tools are becoming relevant to the bottom line, and that’s when they become essential. That’s what we’re seeing today inside many small and big businesses.

Cry Havok! And let slip the dogs of war...

posted by Nick Knupffer on September 14, 2007

According to www.phrases.org.uk The military order Havoc! was a signal given to the English military forces in the Middle Ages to direct the soldiery (in Shakespeare’s parlance ‘the dogs of war’) to pillage and chaos.

Spell havoc with a ‘K’ and you have an altogether different beast. Havok is a name many of you will recognise as a middleware provider to the world’s top game designers - its expertise can be found in titles such as Half-Life 2 and the recently release Bioshock. Havok is especially famous for its physics engine - the part of a game that adds realistic movement to objects and characters and their interatcion with the game environment.

UPDATED: 45 days and counting… to the magic of 45nm Hafnium

posted by Nick Knupffer on September 11, 2007

See NEW video at the end of this post.

45 is an important number. In 45 BC Julius Caesar won a victory over the armies of Pompey and proclaimed himself the sole ruler of Rome. Some 2000 years later, in 1945 the allies won a victory over the Axis powers. Both victories signaled huge changes in the world and moved it forwards in a new direction.

Now in 45 days time, something will happen that is not as extraordinary as the deeds of Caesar and Churchill, but it certainly does have the power to change and move the world forward.
