Intel Nabs Justin Long for New Campaign in Response to Apple’s John Hodgman Spots – Futurum Tech Webcast

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Futurum analysts Daniel Newman and Shelly Kramer talk about the new Intel campaign featuring the ‘I’m a Mac’ Justin Long and how Intel’s riposte to Apple’s November campaign announcing its M1 processor does a great job showcasing the big differences in user experience between PCs and Macs. It was definitely a ‘Well played, Intel’ moment.

6G Technology Will Have a Major Impact on Devices, Materials, and Communications — Here’s What’s Ahead

6G technology will have a big impact on devices, the market, and on communications in remote areas and beyond and Futurum’s Shelly Kramer takes a quick look at the market and some of the players. While we’re a ways away from the realities of 6G, it’s exciting to think about what’s ahead. It’s also exciting to see many leaders in Big Tech already making progress and getting involved. Some early industry players in the 6G space include Nokia, who heads project Hexa-X, the European Commission’s flagship 6G research initiative, and Ericsson, who will manage the technical aspects of the program. Other partners (today anyway) include Siemens, Intel, Telefonica, TIM, and Orange. 5G’s all the buzz today, but 6G, that’s going to be a whole different ballgame.

Moving on from Huawei, Honor May Find The Perfect 5G Mobile Platform Partner In Qualcomm

In the wake of becoming independent from Huawei last year, the company is now free to work with U.S. chipmakers. While the company reports multiple partnership with key global chipmakers, Futurum’s Olivier Blanchard has his eye on Honor and Qualcomm and the ability of Qualcomm’s mid-range and budget SOCs as early as next year. Why? The Snapdragon platform’s ability to deliver mmWave-ready modems and complete SOCs across a range of price-points is an advantage that may prove difficult for Mediatek to overcome.

Intel and Red Hat Aim to Streamline 5G Deployment and Adoption Process

The extension of the Intel-Red Hat alliance will ease the pain and suffering of service providers as well as enterprises in accelerating their adoption of cloud-native capabilities to rapidly boost the agility and flexibility of 5G implementation journeys. Intel and Red Hat have the portfolios and deployment expertise to reduce the complexity of 5G deployments, particularly in areas such as assuring interworking of open source Open RAN and 5GC technologies in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. As to what’s ahead, now Intel and Red Hat need to show they can outpace their key rivals in providing the comprehensive platforms required to accelerate service provider 5G build and monetization while enabling enterprises to gain business value from the orchestration and unified management of 5G edge and cloud capabilities.

Intel Channels Unity for Intel Partner Alliance Debut

The new Intel Partner Alliance further clarifies its XPU vision and sharpens the company’s focus on solutions, streamlining collaboration among Intel’s partners and new customers. Intel’s partners can expect an improved customer experience due to the simplification of multiple programs and infrastructures into a more unified, customer-centric partner program platform that is designed to entice broader innovation and cooperation. Equally relevant, Intel’s commitment to an XPU portfolio vision also helps crystallize its channel strengths across multiple types of compute, including CPU, GPU, FPGA, and accelerators. I expect the Intel Partner Alliance to fortify Intel’s competitive channel edge across the global ecosystem, especially against key rivals such as AMD and NVIDIA.
