TechNewsWorld: Intel shared its vision for the future of computing at its Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Put simply, the products under development have three major focuses: superfast, superportable and superconnected.
Revelations include plans for a smartphone-style chip — plus a cutting-edge multimedia concept kept under wraps until now.
The newest announcement takes Intel into new territory: television. The company is joining forces with Yahoo to inch into the world of consumer electronics and help tie the TV into the Internet.
The Intel-Yahoo collaboration will result in a “widget” of sorts, Intel spokesperson Kari Aakre told TechNewsWorld. It’ll “live on your TV and easily allow you to access the Internet” through it, she explained.
Named “The Widget Channel,” the system will operate on Intel’s new Media Processor CE3100, previously known under the codename “Canmore.” It will let viewers watch videos, get news headlines, and even engage in social features such as messaging and content sharing.
