To be honest, when I was first invited to the launch of the Intel Montevina processor chip, I wondered how this was going to be presented.

After all, the Montevina is not a slice of cheesecake that we can taste and um our approval. This is a tiny tiny chip that’s invisibly embedded inside laptop computers.

So I thought, may be we will be gathered to sit in a circle while the chip is passed around. When it lands in my hands, I will stare and pretend to be able to see exactly what’s inside that’s made this chip so valuable. I’ll even discreetly stifle a shocked gasp.

And I thought, I’m sure they’re not going to pass the Montevina around in a simple petri dish. Perhaps they will gently place it in a beautiful little parcel. When the gong strikes, the CEO will tug at the ribbon that’s holding it together and let it fall.

The parcel opens…

So, when I arrived at the beautiful ONEº15 Marina Club on a beautiful morning, I thought, “Aha! So this is the beautiful packaging for a tiny tiny chip.”

I was wrong. Although it is a lovely place at the club, we didn’t get to admire it much. In fact, the image on the left was taken from the club’s website.

Instead, we went directly from registration to a few minutes of lingering over coffee and food to a thorough presentation on the Intel Montevina.

Will share with you more in the next post. In the meantime, check out these sites to find out what others had to say about the launch.
