#2Nvidia will save us from Intel in the long run. Intel just doesn't get multi-core processors.

#3Real-time HDR is great! Hope everyone gets in that bandwagon.
At some point HDR processing should become part of the hardware pipeline in every sensor, and we'll simply have a selectable dynamic range.

> Intel just doesn't get multi-core processors.
Would you like to qualify that statement?

Too bad the explanation of how it works was indistinguishable from technobabble.

#7That was effortlessly the worst keynote I have ever sat through, with the added bonus of a grotesque "gamer babe" interlude that saw a married 49 year old CEO pretending to hit on a model at a tiki bar. Rancid 1993 puke.
All that said, their Shield handheld console looks pretty spectacular, if vaporous.
5" ~retinesque~ touchscreen clamshelled onto a full-size game controller with all the bells and whistles. Outrageously powerful, has HDMI, USB, headphones, and holds a 5-10 hour charge. Runs pure Android with full Google Play access and a specially curated library built for the console itself. Can also wirelessly stream games off of a PC, including from Steam Big Picture. Cloud storage of game state comes free.
Not announced: price, storage, availability, who's making it, sales channels, or anything. So whatever. But this -is- the Sony PSP slayer, and it is another sign that all roads lead to Android+OpenGL ES on ARM as the future default game platform.

Intel of course is aware of the market and it's needs. They have their own strategy, R&D and future plans. Case in point: Xeon Phi.

Ok, that made me chuckle. Intel absolutely understands multi-core, what they don't yet 'get' is third party access to the inner works. Its interesting to watch nVidia because they have been on the receiving end of that sort of squeeze (front side bus patents and all that) and so they tend to lean toward that as a strategy, whereas other ARM processor houses don't seem quite so focused on locking down all of the silicon around them.
The really smart bit here though is the LTE capability. If nVidia goes 'all in' on building integrated CPU/GPU/Wireless cores then that puts even more pressure on Intel to integrate or leave the market. Intel has not had a stellar track record with regard to wireless unfortunately.

You made my postmodern sense tingle!
I have noticed more and more cameras implementing automatic color correction resulting in orange people and color changes while filming the same scene. I think HDR looks unnatural.
