Innovating With The Magic of Silicon

INTEL'S RENEWED FOCUS ON A DEVELOPER-FIRST ECOSYSTEM OPENNESS AND INVESTING BACK IN ITS PEOPLE AND THE REGION.

At last year’s Intel InnovatiON, Pat Gelsinger realigned Intel back towards a developer-first approach. What does that mean?

Steve - In recent years, we have been focused on producing leading innovations in hardware but admittedly, we have not done as good a good job in staying connected with the developer community – and that’s where we have committed to do better at.

At the heart of Intel software is our broad set of world-class tools, frameworks and libraries, such as oneAPI and our compilers to platform solutions like Intel Bridge Technology - which allows native Android apps to run on Windows 11 systems. Additionally, what many in the industry don’t know is that we have over 19,000 technical staff working on software alone.

Developers today are also looking for open alternatives, and Intel is delivering a competitive choice. To make Intel the silicon platform of choice, our “software-first” strategy will be focused on helping foster a strong open ecosystem enabling choice and trust.

At Intel we believe that a successful software strategy depends on a broad and deep portfolio of investments that puts the needs of developers first. So last year, we brought back the spirit of Intel Developer Forum in the form of Intel InnovatiON, as part of our recommitment to developers.
