It may seem obvious that planning pays. But for those CIOs and their staffs, managing an IT infrastructure often occurs in an environment where problems are moving targets. Many organizations have little time to plan ahead. But they must. You re not going to get there unless you have a plan, says Bob Stoddard, Intel IT Architect. He was on the team that molded Intel s IT plan starting in late 1990s. Almost a decade later, Intel s IT shop is seeing dividends from that plan in the form of lower TCO and improved client efficiency. vPro is really a beachhead for us in cracking the code to get closer to an end-to-end management solution, not just for the client, but across compute network and storage, says Prasad Rampalli, vice president of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group. vPro transcends clients all the way to the data center. In this podcast, Intel’s Josh Hilliker, Prasad Rampalli and Bob Stoddard discuss the role of planning and why IT architecture is crucial to success.

A new processor for the ultra-mobile market is Intel s latest move to revolutionize mobility computing, from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices and even notebooks and desktops (er, netbooks and net-tops ). While Atom (nee Silverthorne) received its brand-new brand name recently, the family of tiny processors, which relies on 45nm technology just like the Penryn line of Core 2 Duo processors, will debut in devices on display at IDF in Shanghai in early April. It s no secret that China has come a long way in a short time from being a country known for manufacturing cheap products for export to being, potentially, the next great IT superpower. National Science Board figures show that in 1994 there were only seven U.S. companies doing research in China. Ten years later, that number had risen to more than 500. Gartner analysts James Popkin and Partha Iyengar wrote, in their 2007 book I.T. and the East, that the world will witness the birth of a real IT superpower if government restrictions are loosened and the Chinese instinctive talent for entrepreneurialism continues to be encouraged. It s against this backdrop that the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, April 2 and 3, 2008, takes on extra significance. China now supplies the talent, within the country, to conduct advanced research in chip design. At this year s IDF in Shanghai, Intel will provide an update on new technologies and features that enable devices with better performance, less power, more mobility, and lower cost. If you re not attending the event in person, be sure to follow online at Intel s IDF pages and check in here for more video podcast coverage.

In this video podcast, IT pros from the Enterprise Soutions Group at Intel join Josh Hilliker, manager of the Intel vPro Expert Center, to discuss vPro activation. "We have studies that show that on the laptop or notebook side, it saves you $50 per year and on the desktop side it saves you approximately $230 per year by utilizing the vPro technology," says Mike Seawright, of the enterprise solutions group. In other words, it's worth it to go all the way through the activation process now, because otherwise, "you're losing out on that cost savings." Terry Cutler, also of the enterprise solutions group, says it differently: "I'm more than happy for people to buy the technology, but I think they'd be even better off if they'd actually use the technology."Tags: Enterprise Soutions Group, Intel, Josh Hilliker, Intel vPro, vPro activation, laptop, notebook, desktop, Mike Seawright, Terry Cutler

With Intel vPro Technology, the enterprise has a measurable way to improve IT efficiency and cut costs significantly. Enterprises that deploy Intel vPro technology-based PCs as part of a comprehensive PC refresh program can expect to reduce hardware complexity and the expenditures associated with that complexity. Wipro conducted a survey of IT managers from 40 different companies in a variety of industries, asking about current desktop management activities and costs that could be reduced by PCs with Intel vPro technology. The results the research team came up with were impressive -- according to the white paper documenting their findings, a company with 32,000 desktops and a 4-year refresh cycle can achieve desktop management cost reductions of approximately $1 million in year one of the refresh, and as much as $7.5 million in year five, by which time the entire PC population would be part of a base featuring PCs with Intel vPro technology. In this video podcast, Intel Senior Business Marketing Manager Justin Van Buren, Wipro Chief Application Architect Patrick Kalaher, Wipro Architect Timothy Morey, and Intel's own Josh Hilliker discuss the technology and its implications for business with PodTech's Jason Lopez.

High-performance computing presents unique challenges in performance, energy efficiency and parallel processing, and Intel has just unveiled a unique solution. The Intel Xeon processors and platforms use an entirely new transistor formula based on the second generation of the Intel Core microarchitecture. Intel's new high-performance computing (HPC) platform is made possible by technological advancements in the new quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series or dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5200 series, and Intel 5400 chipset. Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore calls the processors which use Intel's Hafnium-based High-k metal gate transistor formula and will be manufactured on the company's 45-nanometer process, the biggest transistor advancement in 40 years. The new Xeon family continues Intel's leadership in delivering faster, more energy-efficient processors, with a 38 percent improvement in performance per watt over its predecessor.

Gordon Moore's Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation's new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks. The challenge for Intel to create a "new generation" of technology every two years -- a challenge laid out by Co-Founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s -- faces very real physical limitations. In fact, Moore himself has predicted the end of the rhythmic advances (more than once, too). In recognition of the 45nm technology but also for the innovation that will allow Intel to continue doubling, and doubling and doubling every two years, Penryn has already joined Apple's iPhone and other game-changing gadgets as a member of the elite group of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. In his Sept., 2007 article in the New York Times, G. Pascal Zachary noted that the hafnium-and-gate innovations are at the heart of Intel's ability to deliver increasingly speedy chips that won't, for example, explode into flames. Zachary's article shines the spotlight on Hafnium and Mark T. Bohr, the Intel physicist who oversaw its introduction into the process, since consumers will mostly be treated to the what-does-it-mean-to-me messaging that accompanies new technology -- not the where-did-it-come-from messaging that actually explains the developments. While consumers might not hear much about the element that replaces silicon oxide as the insulator in their new chips, they'll soon have a clear idea of how they'll benefit from using them. While it may be a closely-guarded secret where Intel's new Penryn chips will end up, HP and Lenovo announcements indicate that pick-up in the industry will be swift. (As always, Mac rumors abound, too.) Trumpeting energy savings and higher speeds for intensive projects like video encoding and multithreaded gaming, the new chips will soon re-set the industry standard, and of course the industry will be powering on behind the scenes. Intel is already deep into development on its next generation 22nm microprocessors, and if the speed of that effort is any indication, the technology behind computing is developing at a faster clip than in previous years (Intel says it may already be several months ahead of schedule when compared with earlier generations). Intel's new eco-friendly facility in Chandler, Ariz. was built specifically for the new 45nm production. Construction on Fab 32 began in August 2005, and you can observe pretty much the whole process in this video.
