Intel show features power, security
When engineers building the computers of tomorrow convene this week to hear the latest technology from Intel, the world's largest chipmaker will discuss plans to make server chips more secure and ways to boost battery life for laptops and cell phones.
The three-day Intel Develop Forum begins Tuesday at the San Jose Convention Center and features keynote speeches by Paul Otellini, president and chief operating officer of Intel Corp. (INTC.O), Pat Gelsinger, chief technology officer, and others.
"This is engineers talking to engineers," Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at market research firm and consultant Insight 64, said on Friday. "It is the premiere conference now for technical folks involved in the PC, server" and other computing areas.
