Your IDF pass gives you access to the latest information in several technology areas. What you see, share, and learn will inspire you to invent the new reality.
Next Generation Microarchiteture (Nehalem)At the Fall IDF in 2007, Intel first demonstrated our new Intel® microarchitecture codenamed Nehalem. Then, at this Spring’s IDF in Shanghai, Intel presented a live demonstration of 64 Nehalem processors running in servers – that’s 256 cores and 512 threads running simultaneously.
IDF this fall is the place for the latest deep insight on Nehalem. Come get details on this dynamic industry-leading microarchitecture that will set the new benchmark for performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. Nehalem was designed from the ground up to take the advantage of Intel’s industry-leading 45nm High K metal gate silicon technology.
Nehalem will be as dramatic an advancement in microprocessor capabilities as the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture was to the computing world. New levels of capability and performance will be realized by Nehalem’s many advanced features, including dynamic management of core and threads at peak performance and dramatic new energy efficiency gains when workloads are scaled back. Applications enabled for simultaneous multithreading will realize stunning new performance gains as they take advantage of two threads per core. New interconnect and graphics engines will allow for increased scalability and client performance.
The new Nehalem microarchitecture will enable the next level of capability for you and your innovations.

High-Performance ComputingImagine the computational problems that could be solved if you had access to peak performance at the petaflops level.
High-performance computing (HPC) is a growing USD 10 billion technology segment – and shows no signs of slowing down. HPC offers huge new benefits to the worlds of science, medicine, geological modeling, oil exploration, physics, astronomy, defense, financial analysis, and education.
Currently, 354 of 500 of the world’s highest performing computers have Intel technology inside, including the 172 teraflops peak-performance machine located at the SGI/New Mexico Computing Applications Center. Cray Computer*, a pioneer in HPC, has recently committed to use Intel’s line of performance-leading technology in their upcoming designs.
At IDF, you’ll learn how Intel, NASA, and SGI* entered into an agreement to work on project Pleiades – a one-petaflop HPC computer by 2009 and a 10-petaflop system by 2012.
Imagine what you could do with a computer that can compute at the petaflop level. Be ready for this new segment by registering for IDF today.
Mobile Internet DevicesAt Fall IDF in 2007, Intel presented early working prototypes of Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs).
What a difference a year makes. At IDF this August, you’ll get updates on the dramatic ecosystem momentum building around the Intel® Atom™ processor that will unleash the best Internet experiences for the pocket-based MID segment.
Based on Intel’s advanced 45nm High K silicon technology, Intel Atom processor packs big performance into a much smaller footprint, allowing for smaller, lighter, faster, and more energy-efficient mobile devices. With Intel Atom processor-based MIDs, you’ll have the freedom and flexibility to communicate with others, enjoy digital media, and access information where and when you want like never before.
With more than 1.3 billion users playing, connecting, and virtually living on their PCs today, and the Internet evolving and becoming increasingly pervasive, it’s easy to see how wide open the MID market is for you and your innovations.
Imagine what you could do with so much computing power in such a small package. Be ready for this new segment by registering for IDF today.
Nettops and NetbooksWhat’s bigger than a Mobile Internet Device (MID), but smaller than a traditional laptop? It’s a new category of very affordable, Internet-centric devices called nettops and netbooks that are ideal for browsing, streaming video, social networking, and education.
Nettops and netbooks can be enabled by the Intel® Atom™ processor with their thermal design power specification of less than 4 watts, yet running at 1.6 GHz.
These devices can be built on Linux* or Microsoft Windows* operating systems, and feature multiple USB ports, up to 1 GB of memory, fanless designs, and offer Wi-Fi connectivity.
Netbooks are the basis for the Intel-powered classmate PC, enhancing educational opportunities and opening the world via the Internet to millions of children worldwide.
Imagine what you could do with a flexible device in such a small package. Be ready for this new segment by registering for IDF today.
Embedded ComputingCars, home automation systems, IP cameras. All of these devices have something in common: they’re becoming more intelligent and more connected all the time. By the year 2012, there could be as many as five billion intelligent devices connected to the Internet.
Embedded Intel® Architecture is connecting these devices, ushering in the next great market opportunity for you. Come to IDF for information that helps you develop products that change our lives as dramatically as the cell phone once did.
From next generation healthcare monitoring systems that help people stay in their homes longer to connected video monitoring systems that help reduce theft from small businesses, the intelligence and connectedness of these highly sophisticated, more energy-efficient devices will set them apart from the systems of today.
Imagine what you could do with intelligent, energy-efficient products that bring the trusted Intel® architecture to the embedded space. Be ready for these new opportunities by registering for IDF today.
Consumer ElectronicsThe TV as you know it is changing. High-definition, interactive content, and social networking applications are making their way into a new generation of TVs. The “sit back and watch” model of TV is shifting to a new “sit up and participate” model more similar to how consumers use their computers.
Imagine being able to wave your hand in front of the TV in your living room to navigate through programs or to play a game. Imagine that this TV is not only connected to the Internet, but is able to connect you to content relevant to what you’re watching. All of this is becoming possible and is just a taste of what’s to come.
Intel® architecture is bringing next generation intelligence and connectivity to a wide array of consumer electronics devices, including TVs, high-definition video players, and gaming systems. Now is the time to get in front of this new wave of change that will sweep across consumer electronics.
