Innovation will remain a major driver in today`s industries, said Intel CEO Craig Barrett during his keynote address yesterday at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
He explained that for technology vendors such as Intel, spend on research and development is absolutely critical, because the success of the research will drive the next level of innovation.
On his company`s current and future technologies, Barrett said Intel believes there is still a lot of life left in its 'nano-meter` technology and it expects optical computing to pick up and gain ground in the next five years.
He noted that virtualisation, acceleration and dual/multi-core technology would help Intel take its innovations to the next level.
Barrett added that Intel and its partners are working around the clock to soften the user interface experience by making products that are user-friendly.
He concluded that Intel will continue to move beyond focusing on the PC, with a lot of emphasis on wireless technologies, convergence, handheld devices, cellphones and pocket PCs.
