This time around, it’s Intel.

The chip giant is working on its own version of a dual screen notebook PC.

The first of which is already possible, sporting a normal tablet screen alongside and electronic paper display (EPD) that would be used for taking notes. Since this type of display consumes much less power than a proper tablet screen, this device boasts long battery life.

The processor maker sees the industry moving forward in this form factor, which opens up some neat possibilities including specialized functions like the Apple Touch Bar.

As a matter of pure fact, ASUS already showed off the Project Precog, while Dell is also working on something similar.

Goes without saying that the concept mirrors what Microsoft is currently developing, as the fabled Andromeda PC. That device is reportedly powered by an ARM processor, though.

Intel, with it Tiger Rapids project, seems to want to lead the PC makers away from its rival, and onto its own platform. Either way, Windows 10 will the big winner here, as the operating system is at the center of this new drive here.
