Intel lays out future plans
Intel’s senior vice president and co-general manager of its Digital Enterprise Group, Pat Gelsinger, made public the company’s future plans and goals. Where are they headed, in summary?
- Intel is pushing to a 10nm process for chips. They’re at 45nm currently and pushing to hit 32nm soon.
- Tens of cores! Intel wants to move toward double-digit core processors. They’re going to have a six-core chip out this year.
- Pushing x86 architecture into hand-helds and mobile devices, with compatibility as a selling point. They’d like to take on ARM.
- And finally, (and this is way more nebulous) Intel wants to be in your life 24/7/365. It comes off as creepy.
Hexus has the story for more information, but by the looks of things, we’re in for an interesting next few years.
