Intel talks about the biggest advances in computing at computex 2018

Despite the move to a data-centric era, the PC continues to be a key element in Intel's business and an area where there are still many opportunities in the future. The company has taken advantage of Computex 2018 to announce the biggest news in the sector.

Intel describes the biggest advances in computing

In Intel's words, we need the PC to innovate on five key elements: performance, connectivity, battery life, adaptability, and intelligence. Its steadfast commitment to providing the best performance continues with the latest models of the 8th generation of Intel Core processors: the Whiskey Lake U-series and Amber Lake Y-series, offering up to double-digit improvements in performance and integrated gigabit Wi-Fi. These will be included in over 140 new laptops and 2-in-1 computers starting next fall.

Beyond the processing power, Intel Optane SSD 905P arrives in M.2 format. It is a high-performance unit that allows the processor to reduce its waiting time and spend more time on computing tasks, so that users enjoy a faster experience. Intel is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of x86 architecture with the announcement of the Intel Core i7-8086K processor, the company's first CPU with a 5.0GHz turbo frequency.

As for connectivity, 5G technology will be available in stores around the world in the form of PCs with 5G connection based on Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft in 2019. Intel also expects to supply 4G connection through partners such as Acer, Asus, Dell and HP and 25 others that are already on the market. These always connected PCs are not only slim and stylish, they also deliver great performance.

Lastly, the development of Low Power Display technology will make it possible for the battery to last an entire day, thanks to a new one-watt panel manufactured by Sharp and Innolux, which halves the power consumption of an LCD.
