> A new kind of personal computer (PC) will premiere in homes early next year when Intel Corporation introduces Intel® Viiv™ technology designed to enrich consumers’ enjoyment of digital entertainment.

Working together with a variety of Intel-verified consumer electronics devices, online services and software – including movies, music, photos and games – Intel Viiv (pronounced “vīv” and rhymes with “five”) technology, disclosed for the first time at the Intel Developer Forum today, will help usher in a new era of entertainment choices for consumers. PCs based on Intel Viiv technology will be easy to use with a remote control and will be powered by a suite of Intel technologies, including a dual-core processor, chipset, platform software and wired networking capabilities.

Essentially, what Centrino was to mobile PCs, VIIV will be for entertainment PCs. More info can be found here: [http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2510&p=2](http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2510&p=2)
