Intel accelerates the transition to the PC tablet combo

Intel will host the annual Ultrabook Supplier Conference in Taiwan on the 30th. Zane Ball, vice president of the Intel PC Client Group, said on the 29th that Intel will successfully launch a new generation Haswell processor and that it will launch a new generation of Silvermont before the end of the year. After the Atom processor is built, Intel will accelerate cooperation with the industrial system and accelerate the transfer of PCs to 2-in-1 devices.

After Intel announced the launch of the two-in-one model concept at Computex this year, it will hold the Ultrabook Supplier Conference in Taiwan today. Intel said that the tentacles of innovation have now extended to the computing industry. Intel hopes to accelerate the transition to a two-in-one model, expand cooperation with the industrial system, and support and develop technologies that can enhance computing experience.

Intel's Computex first published the concept of Ultrabook in 2011. After two years of development, Intel and industry partners gradually realized their vision, redefining the PC, and making Ultrabook become the mainstream product of the PC market. Intel said that Ultrabook has become an innovation catalyst for the entire computing industry. The number of NB models with body thickness less than 1 inch has increased by 18 times, and the average body thickness of all notebook computers has also been reduced from 3.5 cm to 2.5 cm. The PC has become the new standard, and the system price with touch interface has gradually fallen to the mainstream price band.

Intel launched Haswell processor this year in Computex to speed up the adoption of Ultrabook. With the upcoming launch of the next-generation Silvermont architecture Atom processor, Intel reintroduced the concept of two-in-one, which combines NB and flat-board, and thus, two. One device will be the subject of this year's Intel Ultrabook Vendor Conference.

Intel stated that there were only 5 2-in-1 products on the market by the end of 2012 and 15 in June 2013. With the launch of the Haswell processor and the forthcoming Silvermont architecture, it is expected that more than 60 two-in-one devices will be available in the coming year.
