TAIPEI, Taiwan – A laptop 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) thick with sleek tablet computing features and smarter visual performance than anything on the market today.
This is what US technology giant Intel Corp. promises its new generation of processors will be able to deliver by 2012, when they power the wares of cutting-edge devices produced by companies like Taiwan’s AsusTek Computer Inc.
That may be only the first step in a new, processor-driven revolution that Intel says it is pioneering.
Intel is one of more than 1,800 companies showing off its wares at Taiwan’s annual Computex, the world’s second-largest computer show.
The event kicks off Tuesday and runs through Friday.
