Krzanich, along with additional keynote speakers Ian Yang, president of Intel China, and Doug Fisher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Services Group, opened the company's annual developer conference for Chinese developers today.

Krzanich stressed the need for Intel and the developer community to provide leading- edge technologies to China that drive differentiation across a range of products and industries – from the data center to PC and mobile devices to wearables, as well as the Internet of Things (IoT). He also emphasized the importance of the maker community to develop new generations of computing and connected solutions.

"The local and global impact of our 50 years of Moore's Law innovation and 30 years of strong collaboration and winning together in China is unmatched," said Krzanich. "Intel remains focused on delivering leadership products and technologies in traditional areas of computing, while also investing in new areas and entrepreneurs – students, makers and developers – to find and fuel future generations of innovation with China."
