Intel's annual IDF in Beijing, China, will be held from April 10-11 and hosted by Ian Yang, president of Intel China. Top company executives such as senior vice president Kirk Skaugen, vice president Hermann Eul and CTO Justin Rattner will give speeches about the latest platform products and business developments in China.
Beijing IDF will promote computing technology, chip manufacturing, application experience, end market conditions, and cloud intelligence.
China became the world's largest PC market in 2011 and growth continued in 2012. In addition, for the past five years, the server market in China grew at rates above the global average and has become the world's second-largest data center market. According to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China is the world's largest handset market with more than one billion users. Intel has been developing the China market for years and has been aggressive in cooperating with local governments and schools on R&D.
Intel plans to display its latest technologies at Beijing IDF while its partners will display products such as smart systems, software ecosystems, ultra speed USBs, and ultrabooks. Wintek, a Taiwan-based touch panel firm and a supplier of Intel, will also participate at the event.
