My Intel buddy Nick visited the Folsom lab to actually see what all of the buzz was about. People who game or go heavy on graphics and video tend to pooh=pooh integrated graphics — shhh…I’m one of them. But integrated graphics are advancing — nearly everything steps to Moore’s Law at Intel, or steps up to good competition. Here’s Nick’s blog post with some comments from integrated graphics dissers and believers.
PCI Express 2.0 Speeds Innovation – Intel Chip Chat # 4
David Fair explains how PCI Express Gen 2 increases speed, device interoperability and bandwidth. He also provides insight into the Geneseo proposal that Intel and IBM gave to PCI-SIG.

Intel Chip Chat — Climate Savers Computing Initiative
We watched the introduction of the computing industry org “Climate Savers Computing” a few months ago at Google headquarters. Now Intel’s Lorie Wigle share more insight into Intel’s leadership role in rallying others in the industry to design energy efficiency into every new device. This is the third episode of Intel Chip Chat.

Intel Chip Chat — Architecting Next-Gen 45nm
I first got to work with Intel’s Stephen Fischer after he agreed to do an on-camera interview about the making of Penryn — Intel’s next generation of transistor technology measuring 45nm — in January of 2007. He was proud, humbled and shared a first-had story about how he and his team were the first to test a Penryn chip in Sacramento, California one late evening into the morning. Champaign all around! OK, sparkling cyder it was.

Pluck Adds Social Media & Feeds to Corporate Website
This can be a way to bring to the corporate pressroom feeds of blogs and media you follow. Adding widgets to corporate Web sites can help bring your site to life, and you can alter the content to meet calendar events or company happenings. By having a feed like this in a pressroom, it shows what and who is of interest to the company and it can be a forcing function that gets company storytellers or experts to chime in whenever they see incorrect information pop up on a feed.

Inside Intel’s Extreme Laptop Testing Lab
This is a video I got to shoot inside the Intel benchmarking lab in Santa Clara, CA just prior to the release of the first Extreme Edition processor for laptops. Gamers delight! Mobility without sacrificing gaming performance.
Research@Intel Day: Tera-scale
This story was an experiment in itself. Master storyteller Jason Lopez steps into Ken Burns-style using his tiny digital still camera with video capabilities. The style is not new, but the combination of great writing that describes the photos and videos, and the interesting research projects….it all works! It pulls you in. It makes allows you to slow down and absorb what the Intel researchers are talking about. And the photos and video burn meaning into your brain, helping you understand what challenges these silicon researchers are surmounting. I just love the impact of this storytelling style!

HP on Replacing 7000+ desktops in 2 months
The HP Bladesystem podcast here is a good example of showing how companies work to get new, better technology proliferated. This is interesting to tech industry folks, investors and provides insight to any company deciding if it’s time for a technology upgrade.
