Tencent Digital (Zhou Shuo) At 0:00 on August 17th, Beijing, along with a band of cool music performances, the Intel IDF16 Fall Conference opened in San Francisco, USA. As usual, CEO Ke Zaiqi delivered the keynote speech of the conference. It is expected that the 7th generation of Core Duo will be the first to land on the mobile terminal. However, compared with the major plans of “convergence reality†autopilot, 7th generation Core Duo is absolutely not the protagonist.
Facing the ever-changing technology industry, Intel has been seeking to transform itself from a traditional PC chip manufacturing company into a diversified and innovative company. No matter what the leading technology, it is possible to achieve the leading areas are willing to try to "plug in", this time on the IDF Intel also continued this path.
"Convergence Reality" Alloy Project Brings New Experience
Actually, the opening band's performance is Merged Reality, a fusion of reality! You can see musicians interacting with some special equipment to achieve the effect of playing over the air. The so-called fusion reality is the interaction and integration of the physical environment and behavior in reality and the virtual space in a very natural way! This completely changed the previous VR completely composed of virtual scenes, not a true traditional experience.
Traditional VR requires a wired helmet to connect to the PC. However, external space sensors are required to determine the spatial range and a completely independent special space is needed. However, two controllers are needed in the hands. These experiences all affect the VR immersion. The factors of the popularity of the area. Nowadays, with the fusion of reality, these changes are what you can see and feel.
Intel announced the launch of the Alloy project at the IDF conference. This is a newly developed integrated virtual reality solution that can truly realize the fusion reality. The important thing is that it is completely wireless bound! Completely immersive experience!
From the actual effect of the live demonstration of the Alloy helmet, the user can be placed in a virtual environment like the VR, and the RealSense camera carried by the helmet can capture the environment's three-dimensional environment and accurately determine the user's position in the three-dimensional space. At the same time, the RealSense camera can capture the user's limbs, the moving characters in the environment, etc. You can open the door with your real hands and interact with the objects in the virtual scene so that the user can realize the perfect integration and interaction with the virtual reality.
In conclusion, Alloy Headwear is a combination of VR and RealSense. With Intel RealSense RealSense technology, Alloy Headwear can provide an experience that traditional VR can't provide: it not only implements arbitrary movement from 6 free angles. It also allows us to no longer rely on any external sensors for spatial positioning. The important thing is to allow users to interact directly with the elements in virtual reality.
Although there was already a similar integration concept in the industry, Merged Reality's "Fusion Reality" was first introduced to the industry by Intel. The foundation of the long-term accumulation of RealSense technology has contributed. It is reported that Intel will launch Alloy hardware in the second half of 2017 and provide API support for developers and partners. Will it be a bit slower in time? !
Based on RealSense sports broadcast from this big difference
In traditional sports broadcast content, ordinary users need to rely on on-site guidance to switch back and forth between different locations to watch programs. This kind of experience is passively accepted and sometimes misses the highlights that one would like to see. In terms of sports broadcasting in the future, Intel’s 360Replay technology will also bring an unprecedented experience. The user no longer relies on the output of the leader switching. With the help of the real sense technology and the computing power of the Intel processor, the user can perform 360-degree playback without any dead ends.
After recording the game with 360-degree Replay technology, users will no longer be limited to the specific locations of multiple cameras and cameras! You can freely move your position and choose any angle to enjoy the game. The important thing is that this is not the use of computer synthesis in the later period, and it loses the realism of reality. This is the real-time integration of the physical world into the virtual world. This is an excellent demonstration of the application of fusion reality.
At the same time, Intel announced that it plans to establish in Los Angeles a studio called the Tech Experience Lab, which will develop and create a series of technologies for virtual reality and fusion reality to continuously explore content possibilities.
7th generation Core came! Nuclear boost worth looking forward to
Earlier it was reported that the 7th-generation Core processors will be the first to land mobile products in September this year, so this IDF became the 7th generation Core Duo is the last major appearance before landing mobile devices. However, in fact, Intel used a few short descriptions, which reflects Intel's confidence in the inherent advantages of the processor field, and also shows that Intel is determined to transform from the traditional PC chip makers.
The much-anticipated i7-7700K has already been exposed in some news. The new Kaby Lake i7-7700K uses the third generation 14nm process technology. Adopt 4-core 8-thread design. The rated frequency is 3.6GHz, and the frequency after Turbo will reach 4.2GHz. The third-level cache is 8MB like the i7-6700K and maintains the LGA1151 design for the interface. The i7-6700K will be the shortest-lived consumer-grade flagship i7 ever. It seems that the era is chasing Intel and Intel can't really relax.
It is worth mentioning that the integration of the GT4 level at the new Kaby Lake will be the same as the 5th generation. Although the 7th generation is not significantly improved in computing power, it will certainly have a significant amount of graphics processing power. There are significant works. This is in line with the current trend of increasing demand for graphics processing. As a result, the 7th generation Core Core will also be further improved in terms of 4K aspect and core game performance. The first 7th generation products of this exposure were also unveiled on the IDF at the same time. I believe these products will soon meet consumers.
At the same time, the product also includes desktop platforms: i3-7100, i5-7500, i5-7600, i5-7600K, i7-7700, i7-7700K, i7-7820K, i7-7950X. Mobile platforms: i3-7100H, i5-7300HQ, i5-7400HQ, i5-7440HQ, i7-7700HQ, i7-7820HQ, i7-7822HQ, i7-7820HK, i7-7920HQ, i7-7920HK. Low-voltage and ultra-low voltage products: i3-7100U/T, i5-7200U/T, i5-7300U/T, i5-7400U/T, i7-7500U/T, i7-7600U/T.
Building a Virtual Computing World Depends on RealSense
RealSense is an extremely wide-ranging technology that can be used on machines, smart home appliances, and not just on PCs we have seen before. "RealSense is like their eyes."
In the past few years, Intel has continuously demonstrated Intel RealSense technology based on 3D cameras. It can capture images, measure depth, and sense location. It also contributed to the table's realistic technology in Alloy. However, real sense technology is a series of evolving products. Every year, Intel is working hard to break new applications. In order to allow RealSense RealSense technology to continue to evolve and become more widely used, Intel is pushing two more developer kits:
The first is the Intel Aero platform that supports drones. This platform supports various peripheral devices that can achieve "plug and play", including flight controllers, communication devices, visual devices brought by real sense technology, and so on. The Aero platform development board starts online pre-sales today starting at $399. The complete kit will be available early next year. Another Euclid development kit will be what RealSense developers dreamed of. The Intel Euclid Development Kit is a new turnkey solution that integrates sensing, computing, and connectivity into a single candy bar shape with a square-sized candy bar. The ZR300 Real Camera and Intel Atom Processor are included. And wireless connection, pre-installed with a developer-friendly tool application.
At the same time, Intel introduced a new RealSense camera CAMERA 400, which is a new series of products, it is characterized by very small size, very thin thickness, which allows it to be integrated in a smaller volume of products. And it can support the use of indoor and outdoor environments, providing more accurate three-dimensional environmental accuracy positioning.
Driverless and smart city Intel is working hard
As said before, Intel has been working on transitioning from the traditional PC chip space to the new computing space in recent years, including many hot areas you have heard about, including unmanned and smart cities.
At the IDF site, BMW executives actually sat on the autopilot BMW i3! This i3 has a 360 degree obstacle avoidance function! Obviously this is a combination of some of Intel's real sense technology.
At the same time, BMW also elaborated on several phases of driverlessness from 0-5. And said that today's auto industry has reached Leverl level 2, which is part of the degree of automatic driving. Level 3 means that drivers can gradually free their hands and eyes. When the product reaches level 4, drivers and passengers can even sleep in the car. While Level 5 is the real driverless car, your car can pick you up at any given location. Ultimately, unmanned driving will evolve to a level where there is no driver and hands are completely out of the steering wheel. This is also the goal of all automotive companies and technology leaders. Intel, as a giant in science and technology, is committed to the implantation and cooperation of driverless technology.
Progressive upgrades need to take advantage of Intel because of the need for a revolutionary end-to-end architecture in and out of the car. In the car, the driver needs a central computing platform, including driving motion control, sensor clusters, safe privacy environment that can prevent hackers from attacking, and so on. and
Outside the vehicle, users need a high-performance cloud computing solution that includes data analysis and machine learning to create new features, high-definition map location, and an extremely wide-spread 5G network to ensure data exchange between the car and the back-end, as well as driverless The core - the pattern of the environment! In today's technology companies, which rely on previous technology reserves, non-Intel is the only company that can provide all solutions.
In 2021, BMW, Intel, and Mobileye are expected to bring driverless technology to market to achieve a level 3, 4 and 5 unmanned final experience.
Similar to unmanned driving, the concept of a smart city has been around for a long time. However, most people are only seeing the intelligent upgrade brought by the smart device connection network and far from the goal of a smart city. Smart cities also need thousands of sensors to support. They need thousands of Intel RealSense technologies that can recognize three-dimensional space. They need a very powerful set of data and computing support behind them. This series of ideas and plans must be solid through examples. Technology company support. Intel has achieved remarkable results since its cross-border development. Through the profound accumulation of cloud, big data, the Internet of Things, smart devices, RealSense, traditional processors, computing and computing, and storage technologies, Intel will continue to cultivate smart cities. market.
