BANGALORE: Intel Corporation, the worldÂ’s largest chipmaker, has opened four platform definition centers, including one in Bangalore, to define locally relevant computing solutions based on Intel technology. These definition centers will identify environmental considerations and marketplace requirements specific to each geographic region, such as inclement weather, intermittent power supply or specialized content needs for consumers and small businesses, an Intel statement said. The company said the center would primarily serve the South Asian, Middle East regions, respectively. "Platforms defined in the centers may also be applied across other regions, including certain market segments in developed countries", according to Intel. The center, the company said, is staffed with local ethnographers, designers, solution engineers and systems architects who will conduct in-depth research and analysis to drive platform development. In addition to delivering leading microprocessor technology, Intel said it is also taking a comprehensive platform approach by integrating hardware and software components that are tested and validated for interoperability. "This will help make it easier for channel customers to build and bring platforms to market more rapidly enhancing their competitiveness," the added.
