Intel Introduces New Technology-Enabled Experiences
New Intel technologies deliver amazing experiences across daily
life,
across a wide array of society including education
I am no techie but I was
in awe when I attended Intel's event where they showcased all those new
technologies that can change the future of everything in our world. Only Intel
can think of that. Amazing!
Intel Philippines unveiled a series of new devices and
technologies that will transform the way technology is consumed in the
Philippines and deliver a new technology-enabled experience.
Innovations showcased in Philippines for the first time include
the 6th Generation
Intel® Core™ processors that power a broad range of computing form factors, as
well as the Intel® Curie™ module which provides real-time sensor data and will
enable consumers to experience technology like never before.
“Technology adoption within the local community is rising, with
over 46% of the population now connected online1. At
Intel, we are proud to be at the heart of this increasingly connected society
as we help create new possibilities and innovations to empower Filipinos in
realizing their potential and capabilities through our technology,” said Calum
Chisholm, Country Manager, Intel Philippines.

Intel’s Best Processors Ever
The rapid growth in technology adoption continues to drive demand
for better-performing, more efficient devices that help users do more. As the
nature of technology shifts to adapt to the needs of consumers, Intel’s efforts
bring to life even more amazing experiences for its users.
The 6th Generation
Intel Core processors, Intel’s best processors ever, deliver enhanced
performance and new immersive experiences at the lowest power levels ever.
These enhancements include a new quad-core Intel® Core™ i5 processor that
offers up to 60 percent improved mobile multitasking2.
The 6th Generation
Intel Core Processors also enable amazing experiences for the user. Devices can
now utilize WiGig™ and Intel® WiDi™ features for wireless display freedom,
Intel RealSense™ Technology and Windows Hello* for password-free log-ins, and
the integration of Intel RealSense and Cortana* for more immersive interactions
with virtual assistants2. More
than ever, these experiences will redefine technology consumption and creation
in the years to come.
Powering brand-new form factors
Local consumers now demand devices that cater to specific needs.
The flexibility of the 6th Generation
Intel Core Processors allow it to be a scalable processor that helps enable a
broad range of device designs such as 2-in-1s, All-In-One desktops, and even
Intel’s 2nd Generation
Intel® Compute Stick™ powered by the Intel® Core™ M Processor.

“As technology evolves and becomes more accessible, consumers will
continue to discover new ways to utilize more of it. The 6th Generation Intel Core Processors have the power and performance to
keep pace with the growing needs of our users and deliver an amazing computing
experience,” added Chisholm.
Internet of Things will connect more people in more ways
New devices that take advantage of the Internet of Things now make
it possible for “things” that were never connected before to provide insights
to activities that have never been seen before. This presents yet another
opportunity for Filipinos to maximize the benefits of technology in their
lives.
Intel’s Curie module, a small chip the size of a button, is
designed for use in wearable devices, enabling users to track real-time data
with built-in sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. The module
revolutionizes the way users view technology, literally enabling them to
connect their “things” to the Internet and bring meaningful change to the way
they experience technology.
“The Internet of Things is one of the main drivers of innovation
today. With almost 50 billion devices connected to the Internet, IoT presents
another opportunity to enhance daily life through technology. Intel is bringing
this experience closer to consumers through technologies like Intel Curie, and
the boundaries for the use of such innovative technologies is truly only limited
by users’ imaginations,” noted Chisholm.
Education and opportunity
By bringing IoT to the level of consumers and power users, private
institutions and the academies have now become starting points for individuals
to try their hand in creating new technology.
Through Intel’s collaboration with various ‘Maker Labs,’
organizations such as the Philippine Society of Information Technology
Educators (PSITE) and academia from the University of the Philippines, a total
of 400 Intel® Galileo development boards were provided to serve as educational
platforms for students and individuals who aspire to create their own
innovations powered by the Intel chip.
“Our work with private institutions and the academia demonstrates
the results of what technology can do for education. A great example of this is
our work in rebuilding and providing digital devices to Sto. Niño Elementary
School, where we were able incorporate technology into the students’
education,” said Chisholm. “These efforts integrate our innovations deeply into
education efforts locally, and enable us to contribute to the Filipino
community – by ensuring that students and individuals are given a strong chance
to realize their full potential through the power of technology,” he concluded.

Here I am winning the The New and Improved Intel® Compute Stick which my brother happily exchanged from me with his Lenovo. (He has a HDMI TV, I don't.)
Building on the
success of the Intel® Compute Stick introduced last year, at CES 2016 Intel
unveiled new Compute Sticks based on 6th Gen Intel® Core™ M and the latest
quad-core Intel® Atom™ processors. A tiny device about the size of a pack of
gum, the Intel Compute Stick can transform any HDMI TV or display into a
complete computer and improves upon the first generation in processing and
graphics performance, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and additional USB
ports. Both devices will be available in Q1 2016. Read the Intel® Compute Stick fact sheet for more information.
