Intel Pakistan is holding year in review sessions across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad

KARACHI: 2012 was an exciting year for Intel in the Asia Pacific region.

Technology innovation from the region made possible devices with an immersive and personal computing experience. Intel is proud to be a driving force behind this innovation.

Creating and extending computing technology to connect and enrich lives has been Intel’s company vision.

This year Intel made a leap forward by delivering next generation processors that changed the way people use and interact with computing technology from interactive signs, smart cars to smartphones, tablets, Ultrabooks™ and servers.

Intel also continued its work to help transform Asia into a global powerhouse through a focus on education, encouraging the adoption of 21st century skills and investing in Asian start-ups and entrepreneurs across the region.

In 2012 Intel made smarter, faster and more secure computing possible through the integration of revolutionary technology.

The first processors built on Intel’s innovative22nm 3-D tri-gate transistors came to market with the launch of the 3rd Gen Intel®Core™ processor family. As a result Ultrabooks and other PC systems are now equipped with new technology that enables faster file transfers, super-quick start times, quick connections and greater security.

Continuing Intel’s commitment to consumers to make computing easier, faster and more engaging will continue with the company’s planned 4th Gen Intel® Core™ processor family that is expected to reach consumers in 2013.

“Technology companies and manufacturers will need to tap into the psyche of Asian consumers and respond with relevant and desirable products, now more than ever. Consumers will be inundated with mobile device options.

A range of screen sizes, processing power and weights will enter the market in 2013 and manufacturers will rely on consumers’ choices to identify the most popular devices for future production,” Naveed Siraj, Country Manager, Intel Pakistan. 

In 2012, thirty-six teams from Asia were selected as finalists for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This year the competition attracted more than 1,500 talented high school students from around the world to compete for over US$3 million in prizes and grants.

The Intel® Teach Program has also helped millions of teachers harness technology to improve learning in the classroom.

Worldwide, Intel trained more than 10 million teachers and we have trained more than 2.6 million teachers across 13 APAC countries. In Pakistan, Intel has trained more than 325,000 teachers.
