Intel PC Design Challenge

Intel Corporation is challenging PC designers and manufacturers to think sexy, stylish and small as they design the next generation of home PCs optimized for multimedia entertainment and powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

Looking to evolve the "big, beige box" and help bring to market more stylish, small, quiet and cool-running PCs perfect for any room in the home, Intel announced the Intel Core Processor Challenge.

The contest will award up to $1 million in prizes to the PC designer and manufacturer that designs and builds the smallest and most stylish home PCs powered by Intel Viiv technology, Intel's premium brand for in-home, media-optimized PCs featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Systems will be evaluated on attributes of style, acoustics, functionality and features.

The Intel Core Processor Challenge is open to PC designers and manufacturers worldwide. (OEM or ODM)

The Challenge is not open to members of the general public or to individuals.
