When you match visionary technology direction with a detailed review of the underlying technology foundations, you come away with important insights on the possibilities and opportunities they represent.   Technology Insights   Nehalem: Talk of the Tock, Intel® Next Generation Microprocessor Jim Brayton Director, Enterprise Microprocessor Group Design Manager, Nehalem Family CPU Development Intel Corporation Jim Brayton, the Design Manager of the Next Generation Intel® microprocessor - Nehalem, gives you the inside scoop on the design and microarchitecture of this innovative new CPU. Leveraging Intel? 45 nm process technology to the maximum, this processor will push the envelope of performance, power efficiency, modularity and integration. This Technology Insight will highlight the guiding principles behind this processor, its microarchitecture, cache organization, and instruction set enhancements. It will showcase some of the key technologies used to achieve these goals. It will also demonstrate how these capabilities combine with the brand new Intel® QuickPath Architecture based platforms to service the wide-ranging demands of Server, Workstation, Desktop and Mobile platforms.     Essential Computing: Simplifying and Enriching All Aspects of Work and Daily life Andrew A. Chien Vice President, Corporate Technology Group Director, Intel Research Intel Corporation Over the past four decades, computing has excelled at analytical and clerical tasks, but in the 21st century, the center of gravity has shifted -- mobile computing devices are transforming society, empowering a broad range of social and personal activities. Intel Research's bold "Essential Computing" vision is focused on creating research breakthroughs which make technology more intuitive, helpful and robust. Such capabilities allow computing to enhance the essence of our lives - not just our work, but our personal relationships and growth, sense of community, and life experience. Central to this vision is a major research effort to enable "Everyday Sensing and Perception" which involves sensors, vision, machine learning and human interaction to achieve an unprecedented new capability. Under the Essential Computing vision, our research activities are organized into six multidisciplinary themes: "Personal Awareness", increasing the ability of computing systems to conform to and support our personal needs, habits, and ambitions, "Richly Communicative", which allows us to easily form and enrich relationships, "Physicality", which actuates everyday objects, connecting the cyber and physical worlds, "Concealing Complexity", to simplify every aspect of use and configuration of technology -- it just works!, "Data Rich", unleashing the power of Internet-scale data sets, and "Biosensors", connecting the biological and computing worlds at a molecular level.     Redefining Mobility Kevin C. Kahn Intel Senior Fellow, Corporate Technology Group Director, Communications Technology Lab Intel Corporation What does the mobile future look like? As we are on the move, more and more of our everyday lives, we ask ourselves: Has mobile technology kept up with our lives? Can technology make life simpler by delivering what we want, when and where we want it? Join Kevin Kahn, Intel Senior Fellow, as he takes a technical view of current industry trends that are converging to enable new user experiences and redefining our views of mobility. This Technology Insight will explore key communications and platform technology advances that make this future possible as well as the technical challenges that need to be addressed. Come hear Intel's perspective on the future of mobility and the opportunities for all of us that lie ahead.     Intel® Architecture based SoC (System-on-Chip) - Intel's Vision for a Broader IA Ecosystem Raj Yavatkar Intel Fellow, System-on-Chip (SoC) Enabling Group Director, SoC Architecture Intel Corporation Join us to hear about the vision for Intel® Architecture-based SoCs and the unique benefits that they bring to the industry. This Technology Insight will focus on a generic SoC on-die architecture and its impact on SoC-based platforms for embedded communications, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. The talk will also outline Intel's expectations of the industry ecosystem in the areas of Electronic System Level (ESL) language, tools, and new methodologies.     Driving Technology Scaling with Innovations Kevin X. Zhang Intel Fellow, Technology and Manufacturing Group Director, Advanced Memory Circuits and Technology Integration Intel Corporation Moore's law has guided semiconductor industry over four decades. As CMOS technology is scaled down into nano-scale level, technology innovations from process and design are playing essential role in achieving optimal end-user benefits. In this presentation, several key technology and design innovations from Intel will be discussed along with the significant impacts in achieving industry leadership technology and products.
