<p>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?</p>
<p><ul><li>Intel is pushing to a 10nm process for chips. They're at 45nm currently and pushing to hit 32nm soon.</li>
<li>Tens of cores! Intel wants to move toward double-digit core processors. They're going to have a six-core chip out this year.</li>
<li>Pushing x86 architecture into hand-helds and mobile devices, with compatibility as a selling point. They'd like to take on ARM.</li>
<li>And finally, (and this is way more nebulous) Intel wants to be in your life 24/7/365. It comes off as creepy.</li></ul></p>
<p>Hexus has the story for <a href="http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=14148">more information</a>, but by the looks of things, we're in for an interesting next few years.</p>
