CES 2020 recap: Day three
CES 2020 isn't a PC show per se, but recently manufacturers have used it to show off their most out-there prototypes. Take Intel's Horseshoe Bend, a 17-inch PC that's entirely covered by a flexible display to show off the potential of huge foldable devices. Dell, meanwhile, took another approach with the Concept Duet laptop that has two screens rather than one big flexible display. Just to show that it can do folding too, Dell also unveiled the Concept Ori tablet that supersizes bendy smartphones to tablet size. Lenovo went the farthest, however, with its ThinkPad X1 Fold, a folding tablet that it actually plans to sell. All of this shows that manufacturers are trying to make bendable devices happen, even if consumers aren't sure yet. For more, follow along with Engadget's complete CES 2020 coverage.
Intel used a 17-inch foldable tablet to show off its 'Tiger Lake' platform
Tiger Lake, Intel's next-generation Core mobile platform, is coming later this year. And to prove it, the company trotted out 17-inch foldable OLED tablet, codenamed Horseshoe Bend, as an example of what it's future chips can achieve. So far, Intel is saying Tiger Lake (below) will feature "double-digit performance gains," huge improvements for AI processing and Thunderbolt 4, which will be four times as fast as USB 3.0. It'll also be the first time Intel will build high performance chips on its 10nm+, and of course, it'll include the company's Xe graphics, which it says matches some dedicated GPUs.
