Islamabad: With more than 1 million computers selling each day, Intel
Corporation introduced its game-changing 2nd Generation Intel®
Core™ processor family recently. Intel highlighted several surprising
new features, services and partnerships that combine to deliver an
entirely new visual experience with processor graphics built in. More
than 500 desktop and laptop PC designs are expected from all major
OEMs worldwide throughout the next year.
New features include Intel® Quick Sync Video, and a new version of
the company’s award-winning Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi), which
now adds 1080p HD and content protection for those wishing to beam
premium HD content from their laptop screen to their TV.
“The new 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors represent the
biggest advance in computing performance and capabilities over any
other previous generation,” said Naveed Siraj, Country Manager, Intel
Pakistan. “The built-in visual capabilities enabled by these new
processors are stunning. This, combined with improved adaptive
performance, will revolutionize the PC experience in a way that is
obvious for every user to see and appreciate – visibly smarter
performance.”

New Visual Experience for Today’s Lifestyles
The Generation Intel Core processor family is the first “visibly
smart” micro-architecture to combine visual and 3-D graphics
technology with performance-leading microprocessors on a
single chip. Incorporating the newly architected Intel® HD
Graphics on each 32nm die enables significant graphics
performance improvements over previous-generation graphics
for both HD media processing and mainstream gaming. The
chips improve performance and still offer great battery life and
the ability to design thinner, lighter and more innovative laptops
and all-in-one PCs.
New processor graphics technology will focus on the areas
where most people are computing today: high-definition (HD)
video, photos, mainstream gaming, multi-tasking and online
socializing and multimedia. Enhanced visual technologies such
as next-generation Intel® HD graphics are built into every 2nd
Generation Intel® Core™ processor. For consumers, this
means a dramatically improved PC experience, with better
overall power management, greater efficiency and great battery
life.
Another unique element of the visual experience built into the
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family is Intel® Quick
Sync Video. This built-in hardware acceleration takes the wait
out of editing and sharing videos with astonishing performance
that completes in minutes what used to take hours. Now faster
than ever, consumers can edit, convert and share videos with
friends and family. Intel estimated that a 4-minute HD video that
used to take 4 minutes to convert to play on an iPod* would now
take just 16 seconds.
Smart Performance, Energy Efficiency and Intelligence
Merge
The Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors also include the
enhanced Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. This feature
automatically reallocates processor core and processor
graphics resources to accelerate performance, giving users an
immediate performance boost when and where it’s needed.
Other new chip features include Intel® Advanced Vector
Extensions (AVX), Intel® InTru™ 3-D, and Intel® Clear Video
Technology HD. Intel InTru 3-D enables immersive stereoscopic
3-D to 3-D-capable HDTVs or monitors via HDMI 1.4, making
movie excitement almost come out of the screen.
Intel® AVX increases performance for such demanding visual
applications as audio processing and professional video image
editing such as stitching together multiple photographs. Intel®
Clear Video improves the visual quality and color fidelity during
video playback for a spectacular screen experience. The chips
are made on Intel’s 32nm manufacturing process on the
company’s second-generation high-k metal gate transistors.
These unique advantages further boost performance; reduce
power consumption for better battery life and smaller designs,
and lower overall manufacturing costs.
Intel announced more than 20 processors, wireless adapters
and chipsets, including new Intel® Core™ i7, i5 and i3
processors, Intel® 6 Series Chipsets, and Intel® Centrino®
WiFi and WiMAX adapters. More than 500 laptop and desktop
PC platform designs are expected from all major computer
makers worldwide based on these products.
