If you’re like most people, whenever a new iteration of a product comes to market, it can be tempting to write it off as a minor improvement. Really, how much different can a product be in the span of twelve to eighteen months?
But in the case of Intel’s 12th Gen Core Processor, it’s light years ahead of the previous iteration, the 11th Gen. So before you write it off as a minor improvement on an already existing product, take a second look.
On this episode of B2B Tech Talk, we chat with David Bradshaw from Intel, all about Intel’s newest innovation. Some things we discussed:
- The 3 primary groups of buyers that Intel has in mind when innovating
- Why the 12th Gen is such a huge leap forward from the 11th Gen
- Why users shouldn’t wait for the 13th Gen
- Where he sees technology going in the next year
