Intel Gregory Bryant: Evo platform camp grows, 75 PCs certified worldwide!

Intel and Samsung collaborated to develop the new Galaxy Book Pro series of notebooks, designed to deliver exceptional mobility, connectivity and performance experiences.

 Digital technology is becoming more and more popular around the world. In the past year, the pace of digital transformation has accelerated significantly and triggered new changes. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many uncertainties, bringing more opportunities and challenges for individuals and businesses to pursue what is important to them.

PCs are increasingly becoming an indispensable tool in our lives - whether it is work, study, health or entertainment, computing has already penetrated into every aspect. Wendy March, chief engineer of Intel's Project Athena, said that Intel hopes to create products that users can be proud of and confident about through innovation, so as to fully demonstrate its own value. In other words, computing can empower everyone to achieve extraordinary things, and PC is the perfect platform to help people unleash their talents.

The Intel Evo™ platform is designed for an excellent mobile experience, and 75 certified laptops are now available. Among them, the latest device created by Samsung and Intel is a model of product design innovation based on the Intel Evo™ platform. Today, Samsung and Intel announced a new chapter in their shared vision: to provide an excellent mobile, connected and performance experience, we have brought together the best resources of both parties to help people fully unleash their potential.

Intel is proud to announce the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360, the result of our collaboration. These Galaxy Book laptops are certified by the Intel Evo™ platform and are powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, providing a best-in-class computing experience. This new class of device combines the best of smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

Intel and Samsung innovators have spent hundreds of thousands of hours sharing research and developing custom results to exceed user expectations. Together, we developed a new line of PCs that meet all the validation criteria of the Intel Evo™ platform, including industry-leading responsiveness, instant wake, and long-lasting battery life.

This series of PC products adopts an extremely thin and light design, is equipped with Intel's customized Bluetooth function (supporting seamless interaction between peripherals and devices), and has industry-leading connectivity capabilities (including 5G and Intel® Wi-Fi 6E functions), bringing the user experience to a new level.

“We believe that innovation can only be unleashed through collaboration, and this is best demonstrated by the new mobile computing products we have developed in close collaboration with Intel,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “The Galaxy Book Pro series brings together the strengths of the Galaxy ecosystem to deliver leading mobile, connected and continuous experiences designed to help users maximize productivity, enjoy great entertainment and unleash their creativity.”

This series of products will provide users with a unique experience. Samsung will carry out more cooperation with Intel in the future. We will form a joint design team dedicated to promoting innovation in mobile computing to enhance the cross-device experience. The two parties will also cooperate to provide the following leading technologies:

• Adopts Intel’s new XPU microarchitecture with multiple heterogeneous combinations.

• Unique PC design that inherits Galaxy product genes.

• Provide a more personalized computing experience through enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

• Enable people to work and share content seamlessly across all devices for a more continuous experience.

Additionally, we will launch a global joint marketing campaign highlighting the computing experience offered by Galaxy devices certified on the Intel Evo™ platform.

Only through collaboration can ideas be brought to life and become tangible products. Our team is excited to innovate and develop together with partners like Samsung.

We are also excited about the unprecedented opportunities brought by the wave of digitalization. There is a lot to be done in the future of computing, so let’s wait and see!
