While it might sound like that, this post has nothing to do with Facebook and its metaverse, although we’ll touch on its structure a bit for the sake of the word. What we are going to see here is the concept of Metaverse from Intel’s point of view and how in the future everything will change to fulfill the dream of many current and past fictional films where some interesting thinking will be made as well. How does Intel view this metaverse?
The concept offered by Facebook is very new and focused on the hardware will require more emphasis from a section such as the software than the pure physical. Technologies are more and more linked to each other and this is precisely the approach that Intel will give to its solutions in the immediate future, but also in the most distant future where it will lay the foundations that we now believe to be. science fiction.
A global performance leap in technology
If we look back we will see that performance has increased in almost every area of hardware and in a few years a decade is enough to figure it out. A practical example is the power of today’s smartphones, superior in performance to what we saw in consoles two generations ago and which we now have in our hands and take them everywhere with us. Own Raja Koduri It is clear to him:
“PCs are getting better, phones are amazing these days, you have a two teraflop GPU in your smartphone… and then you have the cloud. Much progress has been made, but it is not enough “
The problem with this is that although progress is being made little by little much higher wattage is needed which will take decades to arrive and we surely won’t see it, but for that reason another different approach to this one is. necessary which does not turn the current material into individualism and above all future.
“One essential thing that we have always known is that for what we envision in movies like Snow Crash, what we envision in Ready Player One, for these experiences to be delivered, the necessary IT infrastructure is 1000 times more which we currently have ”said Koduri.
Intel is clear on this and is already working to deliver a platform in the future that achieves this, at least in part, but above all sets a precedent for the new hardware that has just been integrated.
Intel Metaverse: Consolidating Resources with a Purpose
What Intel is already developing is a solution that unites hardware and software where it is possible to bring together sets of IT resources for different uses. Explained like this, it sounds complex, but the main idea is that everything in our house, in the cloud, regardless of the device, even routers, everything is interconnected and offers performance or features that help achieve a new level of experience.
“The math you need to take a realistic photo of yourself or your surroundings should be possible anywhere,” Raja Koduri added. “This means that your PCs, your phones, your networks, your laptops, everything that has computing and even cloud computing has to work together like an orchestra, among those things that offer this kind of beauty to the so-called Metaverse. It will take time. “
This is the idea that Intel and Meta have of what the so-called Metaverse should be, although they will certainly focus on different areas, but what is clear is that this represents a future change. paradigm, where the power of everything we have at home will require more advanced and realistic experiences, perhaps even holographic, who knows. In any case, as Koduri says, we are still a long way off.
