Intel: VR and 4K will become the main application of the computer

Intel released the eighth-generation Core processor yesterday in Beijing, which includes four series of Y, U, H, and S. The 8th generation Core will increase its performance by 40% over the previous generation, which is mainly reflected in the ability to handle multi-task processors and 4K video.

Chris Walker, Vice President of Client Computing Group and General Manager of Mobile Client Group of Intel Corporation delivered a speech at the conference. He said that today's computers have undergone earth-shaking changes, 4K content has become popular, and virtual reality is entering people's daily life. Used operating system.

The innovation of these technologies will have a profound impact on people's lives. For the 450 million people who are still using older computers for more than five years, the launch of the 8 Generation Core processors is the best time for their computers to be replaced.

The following is a record of the speeches by Chris Walker:

The shock of innovation in the technology industry has never stopped me. Recall that five years ago, when the thickness of so-called "thin and light" computers was still more than 20 millimeters, 4K content began to appear. Oculus has just started its Kickstarter project.

But everything has changed dramatically today. Now that the thickness of the laptop has been as thin as 11mm, 4K content has become popular, and with the introduction of Windows* Mixed Reality, virtual reality is entering into the operating systems that people use every day.

These technologies have had an unparalleled impact on our lives, such as facing this total solar eclipse. The last time there was a similar total solar eclipse was about 100 years ago. If you happen to be in an area where the total solar eclipse occurs, even if you know it will happen at first, you will miss this grand occasion because of geographical reasons.

Now, all people in the world can watch through the computer and experience this precious precious moment. But for 450 million people who are still using older computers for more than five years, their experience will be greatly reduced due to technical limitations. From the beginning of the live video to the beautiful photos people have taken and shared throughout the day, they will not be able to see this magnificent scene in no time.

In order to allow users to get a better experience, Intel further broke the performance limit in the eighth generation of Intel Core processors. We hope to bring an excellent platform to support and enhance the many exciting innovations we face, including 4K and virtual reality, and let everyone enjoy the excellent experience brought by these innovations. With this kind of thinking, I am very happy to be able to first introduce to you how we can achieve this goal through the new 8th generation Intel Core processor.

We are launching the 8th generation Intel Core processor family today. The first to be launched is a series of mobile processors designed for thin and light high-end notebooks and 2-in-1 products.

This new family of mobile-end processor products sets a new benchmark in performance, up to 40% over the previous generation1 and up to 2 times older computers than five years ago2. This significant performance advantage can be attributed to the new quad-core configuration, energy-efficient microarchitecture, advanced process technology, and extensive chip optimization.

At the same time, these improvements will also allow users to enjoy a more exciting and immersive entertainment experience while gaining greater convenience. Even more worth mentioning is that we will also have long-lasting battery life. The computer will be able to play 4K ultra-high definition local video for up to 10 hours on a single charge.
