subject: Intel's Accelerated Transition From The Pc To The Embedded - China Heat-resistance Fire-proof [print this page] Intel is undergoing a major transformation process, the traditional "IA architecture" (IntelArchi-tecture) can enter the wider medical, security, automotive and other emerging intelligent market? This is a 10 billion market, this is a battle was more intense in the market, and now the home PC chip giant is accelerating shift from the PC microprocessor supplier footsteps of the general embedded market.
IT vane has known IDF (Intel Developer Forum) today formally convened media conference yesterday, Intel China Research Institute to determine the direction of this year's R & D focus on cloud computing and embedded in the field.
China is the world's largest embedded market
Intel CTO Justin pointed out that the world last October, Intel China Research and Development Center has been upgraded to Intel's China Research Laboratory, Intel spent within 6 months time to develop new research strategies.
Finally selected the following as a direction in several areas: cloud computing, high-performance computers, automotive, healthcare, gaming and other, Er is the common theme of these areas of the cutting-edge embedded Xitong .
Why determine the main direction of embedded? Justin said, China is the world's largest and fastest-growing embedded market, with 48% annual growth rate.
"China's fast-growing handheld, consumer electronics and embedded market, Intel IA architecture provides significant technology and market growth."
It describes the status of Intel China Research Institute of the global high, "Intel Research Institute under the jurisdiction of five large, Intel China Research Institute is the only area named Intel's R & D center. Intel China Research Institute for the Chinese and global markets."
Analysts said China has replaced North American market, as Intel's annual revenue of the largest regional market, Intel's first quarter operating well, partly because the mainland during the Lunar New Year PC and NB selling, "triple play" for IT more opportunities.
Standards aimed at Internet of Things
ARM architecture in the field of communications and industrial leadership are hard to shake, there are many Asian able to produce low-cost chip solutions for emerging rookie, the Intel chip can hold dominant position, but also full of uncertainty. Intel China Research Institute of Xi party also believes that the characteristics of the embedded market with the PC market is very different from the embedded market is highly differentiated, high competition and rapid development, the price differentiation is also evident on the energy sensitive. Demand, the main application is customized, integrated system solutions, the volume is small, fast time to market needs, driven by the energy price, connectivity
Side of the Xi introduction, Intel is facing in this area include the technical challenges, application level, the emerging embedded applications and algorithms, and related needs. Communication level, the ubiquitous connectivity required for applications and services and efficient communication system software level: suitable for a wide range of applications, programming model, and the overall performance of rapid software development system software. Hardware architecture aspect: fast architecture exploration, and flexible integration of reusable components optimal I / O level, the rapid increase of the embedded light of the new external components.
Intel, the IDF, the Internet of things is another keyword, Intel's next wave of innovation that the traffic is through information technology to solve, and the development of rich Internet of things need a standardized environment. In order to meet Intel's diversification strategy and emerging market needs, the Intel processor design in recent years has made many significant improvements. Earlier in addition to release of the drawing unit and the memory controller integrated into the core of next-generation Atom CPU, the expected release this year a range of embedded solutions.
