Intel has projects aim to open up new industries for chip markets and fuel demand for computing power. Intel processors are found in approximately 80 percent of the world’s personal computers, revealed projects during an annual event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
One of the most exciting exhibits was a mockup of a car, with a computer built into the dashboard slot, in place of a stereo or navigation. The computer is more like an information robot that collects tremendous amount of data regarding the trip. It recognizes almost everything that is going on in the car. The number of occupants and wirelessly connects with their phones, computers and other devices to make music or other content available to the car’s entertainment system.
Unique sensors connected to the computer can engage the headlights to communicate with stoplights, transmitting traffic data. The system could warn the driver that there is an emergency vehicle coming, the head researcher Van Ngyuen said. It also could allow cars to communicate with one another and automatically engage the brakes in an emergency.
“There are many devices in cars that do one thing very well, but they can’t handle additional information,” Ngyuen said. “A PC in the car will allow you to do that.”
Intel chief executive officer Paul Otellini is hoping that these projects will not only make the roads safer but also bring in as much as $10 billion per year in revenue for the company
It is good to know that Intel has included environmental improvements to their list of goals with increasing revenue
