We continue the conversation with a new set of videos launching today. Featuring leaders from Intel, HP,CrowdOptic and Hipstamatic, this latest group discusses everything from device evolution to the rise of mobile technology to what consumers want when it comes to their technology.

Two emerging markets economic powers took the world by surprise when they reshaped the global PC marketplace this year. China became the world’s top PC consumption market during the second quarter, while Brazil pushed ahead of Japan to become No. 3, according to research firm IDC. This shift benefited global computer and microprocessor companies with a strong presence in emerging markets, such as Intel and Lenovo Group. Emerging markets helped fuel double-digit revenue growth for Intel during the first three quarters this year. Intel reported consumer PC demand in emerging markets rose year-over-year during the third quarter, with China up 12 percent, India up 21 percent, Turkey up 14 percent, and Indonesia up 23 percent.

As 2011 draws to a close, Intel achieved many milestones this year. Intel announced a significant breakthrough and historic innovation with 3-D Tri-Gate transistors. Intel’s transistors have powered not only all computers, mobile phones and consumer electronics to-date, but also the electronic controls within cars, spacecraft, household appliances, medical devices and thousands of other everyday devices for decades. New innovations will be enabled across a broad range of devices, from the smallest handhelds to powerful cloud-based servers. In the first half of 2012, 3rd Generation Intel Core processors, codenamed “Ivy Bridge,” will be built on this revolutionary design and power the next generation of Ultrabooks™ and PCs worldwide.
