Intel's cooperation with Google will bring powerful new capabilities to market that could help accelerate industry innovation, adoption and choice, said a top Intel official.

Speaking at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel’s President and CEO, Paul Otellini, said: “Computing is in a constant state of evolution.”

“The unprecedented demand for computing from the client devices to the cloud is creating significant opportunity for the industry. Intel is innovating and working with our partners to deliver computing experiences that are more mobile, secure and seamless”, he said.
           
“Our collaboration with Google will bring a powerful new capability to market. I’m excited by the possibilities of this collaboration. It will enable our customers to bring exciting new products and user experiences to market that harness the combined potential of Intel architecture and the Android platform”, he added.

Joint initiatives include Chrome OS, Google TV, and the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) and Native Development Kit (NDK). 

Intel’s CEO said the company’s engineers will further accelerate Ultrabook innovation with Intel’s “Ivy Bridge” 22nm technology early next year with the help of the company’s revolutionary 3-D Tri-gate transistors.

Otellini said he expects that the advances in silicon technology and platform engineering, combined with industry collaboration, will lead to more than 10 days of connected standby battery life for Ultrabooks by 2013. 

The advancements will aid in delivery of always-on-always-connected computing where Ultrabooks stay connected when in standby mode, keeping the e-mail, social media and digital content up-to-date.

Intel researchers have created a chip that could allow a computer to power up on a solar cell the size of a postage stamp. Referred to as a “Near Threshold Voltage Core,” this Intel architecture research chip pushes the limits of transistor technology to tune power use to extremely low levels.

Candace Worley, senior vice president and general manager, endpoint security at McAfee discussed how Intel and McAfee have been working together on a range of innovative hardware assisted software security solutions.

Worley introduced McAfee’s new DeepSafe technology platform that works with hardware capabilities found in the Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors.

DeepSafe technology provides new levels of security and a different vantage point by operating below the operating system. This technology will launch in a McAfee enterprise product later this year.
     
With computing continuing to evolve, Otellini emphasised the need for seamless, consistent and interoperable experiences across a variety of devices.
     
To help support the vision of the need for seamless, consistent and interoperable experiences across a variety of devices, Intel is building capabilities into an array of devices including Ultrabooks and all-in-one computers.
     
Otellini demonstrated several new capabilities that will be available on Acer, Lenovo, and Toshiba systems later this holiday season. – TradeArabia News Service
