Intel consumer technology exhibition wows enthusiasts in Vietnam
Intel Vietnam recently held the Intel Tech Camp 2023, the largest consumer technology exhibition of the year, with the participation of many famous brands in Ho Chi Minh City.
Taking place over September 23 and 24 at Hoa Lu stadium, the Intel Tech Camp 2023 technology and gaming device exhibition offered technology enthusiasts a "feast" with the participation of over 30 brands and dealers.
At the event, guests attended technology demonstrations and seminars run by Intel and other technology brands and viewed the Intel Creative Fest 2023 competition entries.
Intel also dedicated an area for visitors to experience the Intel Unison app on laptops that meet Intel EVO standards.
Officially launched in September 2022, Intel Unison provides a seamless experience between personal computers and smartphones. Users can exchange data between computers and phones, view and reply to messages, check notifications, and receive calls. The Intel Unison app supports both android and iOS phones.
Guests also took part in the Intel Creative Fest 2023 exhibition. The Intel Creative Fest 2023 Image Creation and Vietnamese Color Appreciation Contest was a playground for both professional and amateur image creators to showcase their talents through their own unique perspectives.
The contest’s theme revolved around the colorful lives of Vietnamese people, from traditional, social, human, and scenic values, to humanitarian efforts through charitable activities. The contest was an effort by Intel Vietnam and partner brands to support creators through the application of technology and update the advantages of technological innovation in creativity.
With over 3,500 entries in the 2023 competition, the Intel Creative Fest 2023 exhibition appreciated the contributions of contestants participating in the program and spread the "Vietnamese colors", contributing to preserving and honoring Vietnamese values.
The festival would not have been complete without the "flavor" of esports. Fans were immersed in exciting esports matches from Valorant and FC Online. The two teams competed over three matches with very "harsh" rules, bringing laughter to the audience.
Meanwhile, the FC Online (FIFA Online 4) tournament attracted the gaming community’s attention with the appearance of streamers Mixi, Refund Gaming, and 500Bros. Famous streamers in the role of players and commentators competed and interacted with fans within the framework of the event. This was also the first time Mixi and Refund Gaming have participated in offline activities in HCMC to interact with fans.
In February this year, military-run telecom group Viettel and global tech giant Intel signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on network transformation strategies and joint innovations for 2023-2024, focusing on digital services, 5G, and cloud services.
In particular, the two sides willl cooperate in visual cloud, 5G network transformation, data centers, efficient and sustainable computing structure, idea incubation, and commercial implementation, according to the MoU signed in Barcelona, Spain on February 27 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023.
