No more wires around the computer

Intel wants to completely remove the wires from the computer in the coming years as the company is working on a range of new wireless technologies.

At Computex 2014 taking place in Taiwan, Intel 's PC team leader Kirk Skaugen thinks computers are moving toward a true wireless experience phase, and Intel is doing this to eliminate the mess of wires. Traditional electricity.

Intel demonstrated a reference design of a Core processor codenamed Skylake , the next version of Broadwell chip, support for charging, display and wireless data transmission. The company expects fully unconnected computers to appear in 2016.

Intel is developing a WiGig technology module, which has a wireless transmission rate three times faster than the latest technology, Wi-Fi 802.11ac. This modular PC system will not need wires from PCs to other peripherals such as high-resolution screens, as well as keyboards and mice. They can completely replace today's popular HDMI and DisplayPort technology.

Besides, Intel is also pursuing wireless charging technology for laptops and tablets. New technology that supports resonant charging provides 20 watts of power and can be even higher, charging simply puts them on a table in an area that allows.

At the same time, Intel also announced joining the A4WP wireless charging alliance based on resonance technology. PC manufacturers such as Fujitsu, Dell . all join this group and now Samsung and Qualcomm are also members of A4WP.
