Although it may seem like this, this article has nothing to do with Facebook and its Metaverse, although we will touch its structure a bit for the pure meaning of the term. What we are going to see here is the concept of Metaverse from Intel’s perspective and how in the future everything will change to fulfill the dream of many current and past fiction films, where an interesting reflection will also be made. How does Intel view this Metaverse?
The concept proposed by Facebook is very new and focused on hardware will require more prominence from a section such as software than the purely physical. Technology is increasingly 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 now seem like science fiction to us.
An overall performance leap in technology
If we look back we will see that performance has increased in almost all areas of hardware to a great extent and in not many years, a decade is enough to understand it. A practical example is the power of current smartphones, superior in performance to what we saw in consoles two generations ago and that we now have in our hands and carry them with us everywhere. 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 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, a much higher power is needed that will take decades to arrive and surely we will not see it, but for that reason another approach different from this is needed that does not turn the current hardware into individualism and especially future.
“One critical thing we’ve always known is that for what we envision in movies like Snow Crash, what we envision in Ready Player One, for those experiences to be delivered, the computing infrastructure that is needed is 1000 times more the one we currently have »said Koduri.
Intel is clear about it and is already working to offer in the future a platform that achieves this, at least in part, but above all that sets the precedent for the new hardware that is coming to be integrated.
Intel Metaverse: Pooling Resources with a Purpose
What Intel is already developing is a solution that unites hardware and software where it is possible to group together sets of computing resources for different uses. Explained like this it sounds complex, but the main idea is that everything in our home, in the cloud, whatever the device, even routers, everything is interconnected and providing performance or features that help achieve a new level experience.
“The calculation you need to take a realistic photo of yourself or your surroundings should be possible anywhere,” added Raja Koduri. “That means that your PCs, your phones, your networks, your laptops, everything that has some computing and even cloud computing must work together as an orchestra, among these elements that provide that 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 focus on different areas for sure, but what is clear is that this represents a future paradigm shift, where the power of everything we have at home it will be necessary to offer more advanced and realistic experiences, perhaps even holographic, who knows. In any case, as Koduri says, we are still far away.
