Banglore (India), Jan 29 -Intel Corporation, the world's largest semiconductor chip maker, is working on reducing the boot time in personal computers to a mere two seconds, its top official said
Taking into account the oft-repeated complaints by PC users of longer response time (in switching on and shutting of), we are working on reducing the boot time to as low as two seconds, Ajay Bhatt, Intel Fellow and Chief Client Platform Architecture Group told reporters here today.
The other important product Intel is working on is wireless power. Fundamental technology for this is already available.
What we working on now is productisation which will take some time, may 5 to 10 years or even more given the regulatory, distance and functionality issues involved, he said.
Detailing the future trends in mobile computing which has witnessed a lot of advancement, Bhatt said mobile computing in future will move from an era of personal computing to an era of many devices per person.
The way we use personal computers, has also been evolving. We are moving more towards internet-driven users, social networking, user generated content, information and media and entertainment, he said.
Intel
, Bhatt said, is to provide a great computing experience which will depend upon performance, software and interoperability, battery life, new form factors and connectivity.
Internet content is also evolving and in 2008 the video traffic was 50 per cent more than the entire internet traffic in 2001. New usages (user generated high definition media like real time video, three dimensional, photorealistic images and animation) demand greater performance, Bhatt said.
Sensor being added to devices which would help in voice location, combine touch and visual and Mixed and Augmented Reality (MAR) are the latest advancements personal computing and their usage is going to increase manifold in the coming years, he said.
Cognitive radio and personal area connectivity (between a computer and a camera or a television) is what
Intel is also looking at, Bhatt said, adding Moore's (Gordon Moore was one of the founders of the firm) law of human innovation has helped in bringing down the cost of the chip while the performance has gone up.
