Intel Delivers Special Gaming Experience at PyeongChang Winter Olympics
Published2017.11.06 10:45Intel announced plans to bring an amazing gaming experience to PyeongChang ahead of the Winter Olympics next February.
Intel plans to present two special gaming experiences to Korea ahead of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, with the support of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and as an extension of its worldwide TOP partnership.
This gaming experience includes the Intel Extreme Masters PyeongChang esports tournament featuring Blizzard Entertainment’s “Starcraft II” and a separate exhibition event for Ubisoft’s action sports game “Stiff Road to the Olympics,” which is the official licensed game of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The Intel Extreme Masters PyeongChang tournament is an extension of the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), co-hosted by Intel and ESL, and any player wishing to compete can participate in the global online qualifiers held in November. Following this, an on-site Chinese qualifier event is scheduled to take place in Beijing in December, where the top two players selected will compete alongside participants from other regions in the final selection tournament. The finalists will head to PyeongChang and compete against other athletes until the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Building on its success at the Intel Extreme Masters tournament, Intel is installing game kiosks for “Stiff™ Road to the Olympics,” the official licensed game of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, to provide an interactive gaming experience to all visitors and athletes at the Olympic Village. Additionally, Olympic and gaming fans can participate in competitions held at the “Stiff Road to the Olympics” exhibition event to compete against each other to determine who the best player is. Information regarding the game competition and details on entry requirements will be announced within November.
Gregory Bryant, Intel Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group, said, “Intel has been working to push the boundaries of esports for over a decade. Intel’s goal is to bring esports to the global sports stage.” He added, “I expect that every moment, from the qualifiers to the groundbreaking Intel Extreme Masters finals in PyeongChang, will provide more people around the world with the opportunity to experience the thrill of esports.”

Intel and Mobileye Develop Mathematical Formula to Prevent Autonomous Vehicles from Causing Accidents
At the World Knowledge Forum held in Seoul, Amnon Shashua, CEO of Mobileye and Vice President of Intel, presented a method to demonstrate the safety of autonomous vehicles. He disclosed a formal mathematical formula that ensures autonomous vehicles operate in a responsible manner and do not cause accidents that could be subject to blame. Mobileye, an Intel subsidiary, is a leader in automation technology and the world's largest camera supplier for ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems). Based on years of successful experience in automotive automation and evolution from ADAS to fully autonomous driving technology, Professor Shashua and his colleague Shai Shalev-Shwartz developed a mathematical formula that can bring certainty to questions of responsibility and blame when accidents occur in unmanned autonomous vehicles. The Responsibility Sensitive Safety model (RSS model) they developed provides concrete and measurable parameters for human concepts of responsibility and care. It also defines a "Safe State" in which autonomous vehicles cannot be the cause of accidents regardless of the movements of other vehicles.
