Spring IDF 2007 - Power of Your Innovations

The 2007 Spring Intel Developer Forum was held in Beijing, China. It was an opportunity to get the newest information on the latest technologies and to meet with other industry experts from around the world. At this event, Intel’s research labs showcased some of their latest technologies, which will make Intel’s future platforms more capable and more helpful to people. The research covers such technology areas as wireless communications and energy efficiency, as well as chip and system architectures. Learn more about our nine sessions covering Tera-scale computing, multi-radio platforms, WiMax, Wireless USB, and other topics.
