From InfoWorld: In years past, Intel would have used its Intel Developer Forum to unveil its processor roadmap, run some benchmarks, and call it a day. But at IDF 2015, the company's just-launched "Skylake" processor got as much stage time as the so-called vending machine of the future.
Instead, Intel emphasized the Internet of things: not the company's traditional focus, but what it is building its future around. And perhaps the biggest announcement was a reality show, America's Greatest Makers, with Mark Burnett, the brains behind Survivor. The million-dollar contest will track ideas in the IoT industry from their concept to development, with Intel responsible for judging the winner.
"I continue to see IDF as one of the places in the world to see the future in technology and innovation," Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said.
Krzanich said that the traditional IDF format of showing the company's roadmap had worked for many years, but that the company wanted to push further than ever before.
