The guests at Skolkovo began to arrive from early morning.



The festive ceremony began at 11-00, but from the very morning in the hall stood the stands of Intel partner companies, which showed the latest news. Here, for example, a prototype car computer IVI based on MeeGo.



Intel employees went to an improvised exhibition and they could ask any questions.



Separately, the stand was Intel Health, which demonstrated all the latest technologies in medicine, which were implemented with the help of Intel.



A pretty nurse could even demonstrate the technique in practice. After all, no wonder there was a model of man.



3Q introduced several laptops and fresh tablets.



Depo Computers showed their new computers based on Intel processors.



Lenovo representatives pleased with the Ultrabook, which is only 14.1 mm thick. The company predicts that this laptop will soon force all competitors out of the market. Well, this is quite plausible, considering that despite its small size, this ultrabook has great features.



In size it is like a tablet. Very thin, really interesting device.



In general, Lenovo had a very interesting booth. What was just there, in addition to laptops. These are dumbbells, glasses, books and toys. So I wanted to go and play.



In the lobby were put up a few candy bars, which could get information about Intel.





The official part was led by Kamil Isaev, director of research and development (SSG) in Russia and the CIS. He focused the guests on the achievements of Russian colleagues in the development of the corporation in the field of research and development.



After that, he introduced Dmitry Konash, regional director of Intel in the CIS countries. Dmitry spoke about the history of Intel in Russia, starting with the first office of the corporation, opened in the building of the Moscow Vocational School in 1991.

He stressed that they represent different groups: software and services (SSG), architectures (Intel Architecture Group, IA), technologies and production (TMG), research laboratories (Intel Labs). The main themes of the development are the creation of compilers, computational libraries and tools for creating programs (Intel Parallel Studio, Intel Cluster Tools, Media SDK and MeeGo SDK), new microarchitectures.

Thomas Kilroy, senior vice president of Intel and general manager of the marketing and sales group, noted that technology is everywhere around the world. People are increasingly communicating in social networks, using e-mail, create and share content. Intel continues to implement Moore's law, making processors more and more efficient and energy efficient. Mr. Kilroy paid particular attention to Russia as one of the global leaders in the IT field. The volume of investments in Russia and other CIS countries, according to forecasts, in 2010-2014 will show the largest percentage increase among all European markets. Thomas also demonstrated the ultrabook, which Intel has already shown at Computex-2011.



Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group, dedicated his presentation to Intel’s strategic vision for cloud computing and introduced the next generation standards and technologies that will make data centers safer, more efficient, easier.
