we want to enable the channel to be in the best position to participate
and compete in the compute continuum, whether it be desktop and server
products based on Intel's newest 4th Generation Core processors, or the
latest Ultrabooks and tablets.'
"With a range of new programs that Intel will be offering this year,
we are committed to providing the right support to the channel to reach
their customers," Hasan further added.

business models and helping them identify and capture new opportunities
