Intel crushes Computex with a 28-core chip, a 5GHz 8086K, two new architectures and more

Intel's demonstration of a massive, 28-core PC chip will cap off what promises to be a busy Computex keynote on Tuesday in Taipei, complete with a special record-breaking Anniversary Edition 8086K processor, the formal announcements of the Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake processor families, one-watt panels designed to drastically improve laptop battery life, and more. "More" includes a look at mobile PCs from Asus and Lenovo with not one but two screens, of which PCWorld was allowed an exclusive sneak peek. It's all great news for a PC industry that's worked hard to climb back from declining sales. "The PC industry has been improving, which is great, and a large part of that is due to the innovation we've been driving with our PC partners," said Gregory Bryant, senior vice president and general manager of the client computing group at Intel. Bryant said his speech will detail how Intel plans to make the PC a "personal contribution platform."
