Intel Fakes the Ivy Bridge DirectX 11 demo at CES 2012 Press Conference

On Intel CES 2012 press conference, Intel raised a lot of attention when the company gave away 50 ASUS "Zenbook" Ultrabooks which were located under randomly positioned seats.When it comes to the content as such, the press conference was solely dedicated to the Ultrabook and how Intel is going to unleash the marketing wave of global advertising to push Ultrabook in the same manner Centrino brand was pushed back in 2004. But one of bigger demo error of CES happened during the alleged live demonstration of F1 2011.

F1 2011 is a DirectX 11 game and the presentation was supposed to demonstrate the 22nm Ivy Bridge processor running DirectX 11 code. Sadly for Mooly and the Intel DEMO team, we saw VLC player controlls popping on the screen a few times - clearly proving this was not a live demo, and what Mooly Eden did was something that millions of Formula One fans do worldwide - pretended to drive an F1 car while looking at the TV.The only difference being, those millions of fans don't act in front of 500 people (and millions more watching the coverage of Intel on CES) while trying to pitch a product.You can read more here.

OMG intel faking and fooling people..

[toweweng]

dili man intawn na live demo sa game wui.. demo man intawn na sa capability sa IB.. like product presentation gud.. you don't have to play live to present it's features.. pwede raman nimo i record para ma present nimo og tarong.. mao bitaw to nakita ang menu sa VLC kay g pause/play niya..

hinumdumi "intel" biya na ang nag demo ha.. kung AMD pa cguro to aws.. dili nata mahibong.. lols.. peace..

klaro anang demo. DEMONSTRATION, hehehhe

[Lingaw-lingaw_sa_payag]

you don't have to play live to present it's features

then why pretend to be playing infront of the people? - this is a demonstration of the product and what it can do. who would believe you can fly if they cant see that first hand? Intel is good and i'm a fan, but I have to admit, this is a turn off..

^^^boss seryoso ra kaayo ka.. kabantay ka nangatawa sila sa ending sa video.. tawa sad gamay diha..

the presentor was really pretending that he was driving, thus part of the props ra to ang steering wheel og iyang pg drive2x.. he is no hardcore.. he is no f1 driver.. nor was he benchmarking IB.. he was just there presenting what IB is capable of.. which is what's the purpose of CES..

^^^ naay video? asa man?heheheh

what's the purpose of doing a "live conference" and demonstration if mag present rka ug video? dili tuod xa benchmark but you are showing the capabilities dba? Had he announced that "this will just be a video", press would'nt make a big fuss out of it. (wala pd unta ni na thread ) point is, anyone can record a Battlefield3 and play the video on a netbook, how would you convince the crowd that its real

ang point man gud nga nag drive2 pa xa thru steering wheel,. haha

In the end, makita ra man ni ang actual performance sa end users (benchmarkers, criticizers, reviewers), that`s the time nga ma conclude na gyud hehehe

press? although the TS quoted this from vr-zone.com which is a reliable tech blogsite, however vrzone just quoted the news from the main source: brightsideofnews.com, have you heard of this website before?

it's already 2 days since pero how come sila ra duha nga site ang nag feature ana.. how come wala ni na viral nga issue kung issue man gani.. familiar ka sa engadget.com? i'm not surprised why wala ni nila g feature sa ilaha coz it's not even feature worthy at all..

ambot lang ha og kita ba gyud ka sa video.. mao ni katawa ang audience kay ni ingon ang presentor nga nag "drive lang cya one hand... blah.. blah.. kay gi run daw to BACKSTAGE.. nyahahaha.. wala man gud to cya sa pinas gud nga kinahanglan pa niya i sulti explicitly nga "this will just be a video".. no offense meant..

in CES, dili tanan naa diha mga hardcore gamers og mga techy.. mao na walay reason i prove niya ang mga facts didto kay dili man cya needed in general sa demo niya on stage.. kadaghanan ana mga press ra na or dba mga general crowd.. kanya-kanyang diskarte man na boss unsaon nimo pg present ang product to capture the crowd, and in my opinion he was able to capture it mao to nangatawa sila..

in CES, there's also "product booth" or company stadium.. adto ka didto mag benchmark2x coz for sure ang mo adto sa ilang booth mga PC enthusiasts na gyud na.. kana imong gpa ngusgan nga "live conference" adto na mo apply didto boss.. adto na needed.. hope u get the drift.. pero kanya-kanyang opinion man ta diri coz public forum man ni.. peace..
