Intel SVP Gregory Bryant Opens Up On Project Athena Laptop Initiative

MojoKid shares a report from HotHardware: Earlier this year, Intel revealed its Project Athena initiative and earlier this month gave us a broad overview on what to expect with future computing designs. Like Centrino (which brought laptops into the Wi-Fi age) and Ultrabooks (which touted the idea of thin and light premium laptops), Project Athena encompasses a collection of technologies and design goals that Intel hopes OEMs will employ when developing new products. At its heart, Intel is looking to help foster the introduction of premium laptops that adhere to specific key tenets, in an effort to enhance the PC user experience.

'One of the things we've learned over the years is that a great PC experience means different things to different people, from gamers to content creators to office workers,' said Gregory Bryant, Intel SVP of And GM of Intel's Client Computing Group. 'This is where you see us focusing. We want to give our partners everything they need to create incredible and differentiated PCs, purpose-built to what real people want.' Powering these systems will be Intel's new 10nm Sunny Cove processor platform. Additional details regarding the use of 5G and harnessing AI to optimize software on the fly for common use cases were also disclosed. Intel noted the first round of Project Athena devices will launch in the latter half of 2019 and we should expect to see production ramp in 2020.
