The really portable PCs

This prototype handheld on display at the fall 2005 Intel Developer Forum is a full-fledged computer containing a notebook chip called Yonah coming next year. It has not been announced who will make these PCs.

Portable PCs

Some manufacturers have already released mini portable PCs, but sales have been limited. This prototype at IDF measures about 4 inches by 6 inches. Toward the end of the decade, Intel plans to come out with a new line of chips designed particularly for these types of devices.

Intel's latest concept PCs

This PC doesn't contain fans to cut down noise and is intended for the living room, where it would store video, audio and other files. PCs based on this design will start hitting shelves later this year, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said.

Mobile delivery of movies

In a demonstration of what it believes the future of cinema will be like, Intel beamed a high-definition movie trailer from Oregon to San Francisco and then played it at the same time on 12 laptops (some of them seen here).

"With 2 billion screens out there, you can start thinking of delivery of content to 1 billion people simultaneously," Otellini said.

Chips ahoy

Samples of Conroe, a dual-core processor for midlevel to high-end PCs coming in the second half of 2006. Conroe will be made on the 65-nanometer platform and sport an architecture that is more similar to today's notebook chips than current Pentium 4 desktop processors.
