According to a report from Digitimes, chip giant Intel is canceling IDF Taiwan 2009. The Intel Developer Forum is a technology convention focused on Intel products and is a chance for Intel to unveil new products and roadmaps to the press, analysts, and industry insiders.
There were three IDF events in 2008 so having one less isn’t a major loss, though it is a sign of the tough economic times that every company, including Intel, is facing right now. The flagship event–IDF 2009 San Francisco–is still planned for September 22-24, 2009 at the Moscone Center as is the April event at Beijing International Convention Center. The lack of a Taipei event, which would have run from November 16-17, means Intel will skip this important manufacturing and technology area, but it was close enough to the San Francisco IDF that is was clearly the one to be dropped. Intel’s presence at Computex 2009 should help offset the loss of this particular Forum though.
