Two wires down,
one to go. Intel came a step closer this week to offering techology that
enables a wire-free workplace with the release of its
5th generation Intel Core vPro processors. The new processors allow
PCs to wirelessly connect to displays and docking stations.
Intel says its
Pro Wireless Display technology, dubbed Pro WiDi, offers a more secure version
of existing WiDi technology. In PC World’s tongue in cheek translation,
“WiDi actually works now.”
A more advanced
implementation of Google’s Chromecast, WiDi projects everything rendered on a
PC display, not just what is rendered in the browser. It’s based on the Miracast
standard and does not require access to a Wi-Fi network.
Wireless docking
is based on the WiGiG protocol,
which allows data to move at speeds of up to 7 Gbps using the 60 Ghz spectrum.
The technology relies on a point-to-point connection and 128-bit encryption.
“With new
devices based on the 5th generation Intel Core vPro processors, we aim to
transform the user experience by helping them compute from virtually anywhere
without the clutter and burden of wires,” Tom Garrison, Intel’s general manger
of business client platforms, said in a statement.
Wireless
charging is due to arrive in consumer devices early next year when PCs based on
the Skylake platform become available.
Intel claims the
new chips offer a significant performance boost–twice the battery life and more
than twice the performance compared to a 2010 PC with Intel® Core™ i5-520UM.
