Not since the transition from analog to digital has there been the potential for transformation of this magnitude: Networks are evolving faster than ever to accommodate the intense bandwidth demands created by the ever-growing number of always-on, connected devices to access, analyze and share data in real time.

Virtual reality (VR), or what Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has stated as “merged” reality, is an important building block for delivering a truly immersive sports experience, one that uses computing power to deliver virtual-world experiences more dynamically and naturally than ever before. Imagine being able to witness a slam dunk from the defender’s perspective or the defensive rush from the quarterback’s perspective. This kind of experience may sound futuristic, but it’s closer than you think.

Inside its compact form factor, customers can achieve new levels of security, determinism, and image and video processing power. This will help fuel innovative IoT applications across industrial, video, manufacturing, retail and more.

Intel has been driving innovation to make the computing experience more simple and secure. This collaboration with Lenovo, PayPal and Synaptics is an example of that vision.

As part of our RealSense™ vision and strategy, we built and acquired critical technologies to ensure our leadership in computer vision and perceptual computing. Simply put, computer vision enables machines to visually process and understand their surroundings. Cameras serve as the “eyes” of the device, the central processing unit is the “brain,” and a vision processor is the “visual cortex.” Upon integration, computer vision enables navigation and mapping, collision avoidance, tracking, object recognition, inspection analytics and more – capabilities that are extremely compelling in emerging markets.

To power these experiences, today I’m excited to unveil the new 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Built for the immersive internet, this new generation of processors leverages our long-standing performance leadership and adds unmatched new media capabilities.

Our industry needs breakthrough compute capability — capability that is both scalable and open — to enable innovation across the broad developer community. Last week at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), we provided a glimpse into how we plan to deliver the industry-leading platform for AI:

It’s all a part of a journey to reposition and revitalize the Intel brand. Our story is simple: “Intel Inside, Amazing Experiences Outside.”

For developers, makers and media at IDF, it was a busy week. Here’s a roundup of many of the activities and some of the thousands of media reports from the event:
