[51CTO.com Beijing report] On August 29, Intel's "Unique Core, Boundless Wisdom" Design Industry Technology Summit was held in Beijing. Design industry representatives, including Mr. Zhou Jin, a senior expert in the field of Chinese animation and director of the Experimental Center of the Animation School of Beijing Film Academy, Mr. Xiang Guoqiang, general manager of the BIM Division of Xidi Group, and nearly 20 Intel designer PC partners including Haier, Tsinghua Tongfang, ASUS, GIGABYTE, Ronglian Technology, RenderG, Opress, etc., were invited to attend. Since Intel first proposed the concept of "designer computers" in 2015, with the strong support of many partners, the designer PC market has grown rapidly. This year, Intel has continued to work hard in the designer PC field with many partners. In addition to promoting 6 to 10 core powerful performance processors for designers to choose from, it has also launched more than 40 new products such as professional customized PCs, professional customized motherboards, professional customized storage solutions, professional customized monitors and professional customized peripherals with various partners, and unveiled them at this technology summit. This is the strongest proof that the "designer computer" category has been recognized by the market, which will also promote another leap forward for designer PCs.
Intel and partners work together to accelerate the development of designer PC ecosystem
Li Junyi, China Sales Director of the Client Computing Division of Intel's Marketing Group, and Chen Danlin, China Commercial Solutions Sales Director of Intel, attended the summit and delivered speeches. Li Junyi said in his speech: "Since Intel proposed the concept of 'Designer Computer', we have always been at the front line of designers to deeply and carefully understand the real needs and experiences of the designer group. At the same time, we have also continuously cooperated with industry partners to transform these in-depth insights into various solutions, striving to provide designers with more professional and richer product choices and communication platforms, and to create a rich and complete designer ecosystem."

Director Zhou Jin, an animation expert, shared with the guests at the summit the huge role of IT technology in promoting the animation profession. Today, designers can use IT technology to bring consumers unparalleled visual effects, whether it is the vast desert of the frontier or the brilliant and magnificent starry sky, the lifelike pictures seem to be within reach. However, many designers mentioned that when they are creating, there will be frequent freezes, slow operation, or even crashes, especially when performing high-load work such as rendering. At the least, it will affect the usual work experience and work efficiency, interrupt design ideas and inspiration, and in serious cases, it may even cause data loss and affect the delivery time of results, causing irreparable losses to design companies. When sharing the real cases he encountered during the design process, Mr. Xiang Guoqiang, a well-known architectural design expert, mentioned that professional software in the field of architectural design has very high requirements for computer performance. Therefore, for designers and design companies, a PC with strong performance, stability, and fast response is essential.
Because of customization, so professional--Motherboard
However, if you want to turn creativity into execution, performance improvement alone is not enough, you also need professional equipment that can optimize the workflow and is handy. In the ODM board exhibition area of this design industry technology summit, professional design X299 motherboard platforms launched by manufacturers such as ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, ASRock, and Colorful were exhibited. It is compatible with 4 to 18-core Intel processors. Its professionalism is mainly reflected in the removal of the overclocking function of ordinary X299 motherboards, enhancing the stability that designers value more. At the same time, it is equipped with Thunderbolt? 3 and U.2 interfaces, making it a standard platform for designers. These have all improved the platform standards of professional PCs for designers and brought designers an unprecedented user experience.

It is worth mentioning that the first batch of designer PCs and solutions using the professional design X299 platform launched by Tsinghua Tongfang and Haier also appeared at the summit. This means that OEM partners recognize and value the category and segment of designer PCs. It is believed that more OEM manufacturers will launch more and more professional designer PCs in the future to meet the diversified and personalized needs of different designers.
Because of customization, so professional--storage
In the Thunderbolt?3 storage area, new storage peripherals based on Thunderbolt?3 launched by multiple partners were exhibited. Their features include the ability to store data at lightning speed while ensuring smooth computer operation, greatly shortening the time to start, run and save design files, bringing designers an efficient and stable work experience, and making design creation more handy. The continuous addition of partners has enriched the product line of storage peripherals based on Thunderbolt?3, providing designers with more choices.

Professional because of customization--High-density solution
The PCFarm high-density solution is another highlight of the summit that cannot be ignored. The PCFarm high-density solution is the latest technological achievement created by Intel and its partners. It can accommodate 4 design hosts with high-performance independent graphics cards in a 2U chassis. Its advantage is that it can centrally manage the assets and data of design companies, and is highly secure and easy to maintain.

Because of customization, so professional--peripherals
Intel is committed to using technological innovation to make the work experience of designers more exciting. It not only starts from the big picture, but also pays great attention to the details and deeply understands the details of designers' work. At this summit, Intel and its partners launched a series of flagship accessories tailored for professional designers, such as the left-hand keyboard. This product was carefully designed and launched by Intel and manufacturers after in-depth interviews and research with a large number of designers and understanding of designers' special needs and work habits for keyboard shortcuts, number keys, etc., and was welcomed by many designers. Designers no longer have to worry about finding a computer that suits them. The customized solutions launched this time cover the entire design application, including film and television animation, architectural decoration, graphic design, product design, etc.

Continuous technological innovation and expanding market demand have brought new development opportunities to China's design industry. If designers want to better meet opportunities and challenges, it is imperative to renew their design equipment. Intel will continue to promote industry development with technological innovation, lead ecological partners to jointly create the most professional designer equipment, deeply cultivate the designer computer market segment, and build a rich and complete designer ecosystem in all aspects.
