Intel joins hands with the International Olympic Committee to support athletes in and out of court

Intel will work with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to provide life coaching, planning guidance, skill learning, and career development services for more than 50,000 athletes participating in the Olympic Games, which will continue to be postponed to the Tokyo Olympics to be held next year. These services provided by Intel are an important part of Athlete365, the official athlete support program of the International Olympic Committee. This new plan is a direct result of Intel’s commitment to supporting Olympic athletes and the Olympic Star of Hope, and will help athletes work hard to overcome the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic.
Intel provides these services to athletes by referring to the existing benefits provided to its employees. Athletes can get tools to help them cope with the challenges posed by the global outbreak. These tools and services include Headspace and EXOS, as well as other learning and career development services provided by Intel and LinkedIn. In addition, Intel will provide guidance and online services designed specifically to meet the needs of elite athletes in the Olympic community.
"Athletes work tirelessly to achieve their goals and bring the world closer together. As a global Olympic partner, we view athletes as an extension of the Intel family and hope to help them as much as we can, especially In this challenging period, we provide excellent service and support for Intel employees, and we hope to extend these services and support to the athlete community."-Intel Corporation Chief Executive Officer

"The IOC always puts athletes first, because athletes are the core of the Olympic movement. We are very happy to work with the Intel team to support athletes around the world, and also promote the future development of the Olympic Games through Intel's leading technology This cooperation is another example of the IOC providing health and well-being support for athletes at all stages of their careers."-Thomas Bach, President of the IOC
"There are many important company benefits that can help athletes seize future career opportunities. This project is critical to support athletes in achieving their professional and personal goals."-Ashton Eaton, Olympic champion, Intel employee
Significance: Intel and the International Olympic Committee are committed to supporting the Olympic ecosystem, athletes and partners during the global outbreak. The benefits available to more than 100,000 Intel employees will now benefit 50,000 athletes from 200 countries. In addition, Intel has donated products that use Intel technology to various sports committees, including VR helmets, to help athletes continue and strengthen training while maintaining contact with coaches and teammates. These benefits will provide athletes with resources beyond the competition, and are highly consistent with Intel’s mission to create world-changing technologies that benefit everyone on the planet and continue to promote inclusion. These services are based on Intel’s previous ambitious commitment to addressing the challenges associated with the new coronary pneumonia epidemic through the "Technology Anti-epidemic Program."
Services for athletes:
Intel employee guidance services: Intel provides exclusive coaching services from experienced Intel employees who have a wealth of technical and non-technical backgrounds to help athletes transition smoothly to the next stage of life after retiring to seize important growth opportunities. Intel is working with the International Olympic Committee to expand the scope of mentors, including the staff of the International Olympic Committee and experienced Olympic athletes. Athletes, including members of the Intel team, will be able to work with their mentors to develop life plans after retirement and learn useful personal and professional skills.
Athlete Webinar Series: Today, Olympic champion, Intel employee Ashton Eaton, and Rick Echevarria, vice president of Intel’s marketing group and general manager of the Global Olympic Program Office, will also participate in the IOC’s athlete webinar series. Eaton will explain how he transitioned from an Olympic athlete to an Intel employee’s identity and how the Olympic athlete’s identity helped him pursue a technical career.
Knowledge development: Intel promotes its employee courses to the Olympic community and is taught by experienced Intel employees. These courses are carefully designed and content-oriented for the audience of athletes, so as to train athletes some of the most necessary and basic skills in the future development of all walks of life. In addition, by accessing related content on business, technology, public speaking, and branding courses on LinkedIn, athletes can hone key skills that are vital now and in the future.

Apple's self-developed computer processor, bid farewell to Intel CPU

American Apple announced on June 22 that it will install a self-developed CPU (central processing unit) on the personal computer "Mac". Since adopting Intel CPU in 2006, Apple will replace it after about 15 years. In addition to reducing the power consumption of the computer using the new CPU, it is also easy to collaborate with the iPhone. Apple held its annual developer conference "WWDC" online on June 22 and announced the news at the conference. Apple CEO Tim Cook (Reuters), who attended the online annual developer conference "WWDC", first put self-developed CPUs on some new Mac products that will be launched before the end of 2020. After that, it took about 2 years to change the CPU of all models to its own products.
