This year, Intel will focus on building the touch industry chain
for a long time, Intel believes that one of the biggest advantages of Apple iPad over PC experience is that touch gives consumers the most direct human-computer interface. Therefore, Intel should make all its products have touch interfaces. This year, 66% of Intel's ultrabooks will feature touch control. He Eryou, senior vice president of Intel and general manager of PC client business unit, mentioned in the keynote speech. At the same time, Intel Desktop opportunities will be promoted in the new form of easel, and large touch interfaces will also be recommended. Of course, in addition to touch control, Intel now wants to go ahead of apple, vigorously promote somatosensory control, and cooperate with voice control, so that consumers' eyes, ears and touch can all be called to achieve a more natural and immersive completely different experience
of course, Intel also wants to reshape mobile terminal intelligence, tablet, and server big data. An important thing in this event is that Intel announced that the silicon photons technology that has been studied for many years can be put into commercial use. Intel and Facebook are reshaping the architecture of the service based on silicon photons. Let us take you to the scene to see how Intel reshapes itself
the establishment of the touch industry chain and the display of various new technologies
the touch industry chain is the industry chain that Intel will focus on this year, and also the focus of future investment and cooperative research and development. The third PPT in the keynote speech on the first day was about the touch industry chain, which explained the importance of building the touch industry chain for Intel. Last year, Intel invested tens of millions of dollars in Duntai, which is also the embodiment of this strategy. There will be more investment in the future. Although Intel only mentioned TPK, Wintek, hannstouch and cando in the PPT of the keynote speech, we will soon see manufacturers from Chinese Mainland enter Intel's industrial chain. In fact, Laibao, Changxin and BOE all showed their innovative products at this exhibition
for example, Changxin provides a variety of new generation touch technologies for large-size PCs and Nb. The large TV touch screen displayed by Changxin technology in cooperation with Taiwan Morgan touch technology adopts electromagnetic touch technology to achieve 400 multi-level grayscale and real handwriting input, which is very cool. The person in charge of Morgan touch said that at present, there are only two mature providers of electromagnetic touch pen input solutions, one is a Japanese supplier (e-people e-ben) and the other is them. Compared with the current capacitive active pen, the electromagnetic pen still has many advantages. The most important thing is that it can achieve more pressure levels when pressing the foot surface to better restore the original handwriting. In addition, Changxin is combining the capacitance and electromagnetic screen into one screen for tablet computers and ultrabooks. In this way, it can support the original handwriting input and greatly reduce the thickness of the screen
in addition, Changxin also showed OGS products of large-size 26 Inch All-in-one PC. Large size OGS has high threshold and great technical challenges. In contrast, the current small-size OGS has lower threshold and fierce competition because the touch IC can support OGS of single-layer ITO. Changxin has an obvious leading edge in large-scale touch control
another touch screen manufacturer, Laibao high tech, displayed a 14.6-inch OGS fully pasted screen on IDF, which is very cool and looks like a mirror. At present, Toshiba and other PC factories have begun to adopt it, and some domestic manufacturers will soon adopt it. However, the price is not cheap. Not only does the full post cost about $75, but the full post costs $1 per inch, that is to say, the full post OGS screen is about $90. After the ultrabook with this screen is made, don't you want to start one
Intel's somatosensory solution is more powerful than leapmotion
Intel wants to let consumers' eyes, ears and touch all call, so as to achieve a more immersive experience. At the exhibition, Intel and iFLYTEK demonstrated the voice control input of ultrabook, such as instructing it to open microblog and then send microblog. For voice to text input, moolyeden, general manager of Intel's perceptual computing business, said that the current version of dragon1.0 is not perfect. The upcoming version of dragon1.5 can well support voice to text. In addition, the advantage of Intel's solution is that it can also correct your voice. I believe that we are looking forward to this. In addition, face recognition is also a technology that Intel Research Institute has studied for many years. Now it can finally be used in the new generation of pc/ultrabook, so that consumers can have a new experience and realize safe login through face recognition. The most important thing is Intel's overall perception computing strategy
Intel will provide somatosensory control for its ultrabook platform, which realizes somatosensory control through two cameras and infrared detection. The experience is stronger than leapmotion. Mooly said that the latter can only detect ten fingers and palms. Intel's scheme can detect all objects within 6 inches to 3 feet, including ten fingers/palms, face, body, and any object within the range, with an accuracy of 1mm. In addition, it can carry out body feeling and voice control at the same time. It can also support augmented reality (AR) and display 2d/3d object tracking and other interesting games. Now it is an external camera, and the next generation CPU platform (Haswell) will be integrated into the ultrabook
now Intel has set up a million dollar Intel perception computing challenge, inviting developers to give full play to their innovative ideas in human-computer interaction experience, and carry out various app innovations through Intel's open SDK 2013 suite. Many applications have been shown on the IDF this time, such as 3D games combined with augmented reality and games that use virtual hands to pick up gold dragons and spit out coins. It is very interesting
the real strength of ultrabook may come in May and June, because a large number of ultrabooks based on the third generation core CPU will be listed. However, the most anticipated is the fourth generation Haswell processor. Its power consumption is reduced to 7W, and it supports 4k2k resolution. Intel claims that its integrated display is completely comparable to the independent graphics card. IDF also shows the big games under the two graphics cards, with little difference
in addition, Intel's body feel, voice, augmented reality, and multi screen wireless interactive widi mentioned earlier, as well as a variety of NFC based applications that Intel is jointly developing with China UnionPay, will be supported on this platform, which will be a platform where the experience will be completely reshaped
the all-in-one PC is also crazy. The integration of desk and PC
it is an indisputable fact that the traditional desktop PC is being replaced by mobile tablet or ultrabook. Now Intel also wants to reshape this market. Intel will make the all-in-one PC have more subversive functions and become an important tool for family reunion. Of course, this first requires a new leap in touch technology, which was also demonstrated at the exhibition
this is a touch desktop completely different from the current capacitive screen. It supports 100 point touch and 1024 level pressure. It adopts a new technology of infrared light detection under the cover plate. This technology is more economical and a new direction for large screen touch control in the future. The desktop is provided by flatfrog, and the infrared chip is provided by dialog semiconductor. The person in charge of dialog company said that they are designing an integrated computer based on Intel Core platform, which will be available in February, 2014. It is a 23 inch integrated PC. At present, the chip prototype has been handed over to some pcoem manufacturers. It should be explained that this infrared detection technology is different from the technology developed by some domestic companies, because its infrared is under the glass cover plate, not around, so it can achieve 1024 pressure and 100 contacts
this table has been sold at pingfrog station. Its diagonal dimension is 32 inches and the price is $5000. Do you like it
Intel is working with Facebook to subvert the data center through silicon photons
Intel is working with Facebook to study a new generation of server architecture, completely subverting the current service architecture and separating the functional modules of computing, storage and memory. It will adopt the silicon photonic technology that Intel has studied for many years, that is, the optical devices of decades will be realized through large-scale and economical CMOS process. This will be a huge nature works company that will launch Ingeo biopolymer leather at Chinaplas 2016, which has a longer service life. The more important information here is, what does it mean for companies like Facebook to directly cooperate with chip companies across equipment manufacturers? In the future, not only the data center server architecture will be reshaped, but also the industrial chain will be reshaped
