The final report all of the key events of the Forum of Intel for developers 2011: "atomic" smartphones and tablets, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Knights Corner and much more

From the point of view of a journalist writing about the news in the sphere of IT, all events of the Forum of Intel for developers, traditionally held in San Francisco in the early autumn, technically can be divided into four contingent parts. The first part, that is all in days of the Forum and for some time after he gets into our tape news, the announcements of industrial alliances, computer technologies, processor architectures, as well as the really interesting exhibits of the exhibition in the IDF, grandiose rumors and leaks, always occurring in the events of this magnitude.

This also automatically get all loud statements management Intel, made by him in the course of daily planning of key reports. And, of course, almost all the elements of the show-program of such reports, as, for example, silicon plate with memory or processors, executed on the latest quarter, or выуженный from his pocket rapporteur and shown only for a few seconds prototype of processor next year.

The second part of the events, to which you can safely include almost all technical reports and presentations of the Forum, due to saturation of a substance useful to a much greater extent, although, unfortunately, are interested in is much smaller, mainly technically savvy range of readers. The story of these events appears on the pages of our site, as a rule, in the form of a detailed description of the features of the new generation processor микроархитектуры, new standards or interfaces.

Moreover, sometimes it is not about the products of this company, but rather, the общеиндустриальных standards, but it is Intel's most likely to be the source of the most reliable and comprehensive technical documentation on these technologies.

A third conditional part of the events IDF - it reports, laboratory work and some of the exhibits of the exhibition, the detailed narrative account of which has not come yet. We with colleagues from other countries're going on a closed presentation "on interests", where the real techies Intel tell us all the "inside story" on the examples of specific products or their prototypes, and we are trying to find out even more, by specifying test mode, the"acceleration", the extreme exploitation of innovations.

Even if at such an event and does not sign non-disclosure agreements before a certain date, all the same the main value of such meetings is not a retelling of their content to the readers, but it is in the exchange of experience and apply it for the benefit of the test lab. This year, for example, besides traditional discussions on the "hardware" for desktop and notebook PCS, for the first time seriously discussed the methodology of the various aspects of testing tablets. The reader, however, all of this "kitchen" is unlikely to be interesting, is that the "ready meals", reviews of those or other novelties would come with one or other of the "spicy"-ingredients in the test method.

Finally, the fourth part of the events of the IDF, which will be discussed in this article: the prospects. Where, in what direction the direction the entire semiconductor industry and information technology in particular. Present sometimes on key presentations of the Forum of Intel for developers and constantly holding the camera at the ready (to record the famous "grand piano in the bushes" - выуженный from the pocket of the processor of the future), feel the temptation in half an ear to listen to the speakers, taking it for the next "space ships that travel through the Bolshoi theatre".

In reality, however, believe my experience, in these few hours of the wisest people of the corporation and their team, переработавшие for their reports an enormous amount of information, trying to tell about how they see the future of the industry in the near future and, accordingly, what are the strategic goals put before the Intel on this period.

And, perhaps, this is the key information of the Forum, for the sake of which should come all the way to the distant California.

In this publication there is no sense to repeat the information about the Forum, detail provided previously in our news. Instead, we try to analyze the main provisions of the key reports of the IDF 2011 in terms of their impact on our future.
