It is important for our University to be involved in taking R and D forward to the cutting edge.
The collaborative nature of this lab will help us achieve that", said Prof Sir Alec Broers, Vice-Chancellor University of Cambridge.
Intel Research Cambridge will provide facilities for 20-25 Intel scientists, and an equal number of university faculty, graduate students and visiting researchers.
The lab will be directed by Dr Derek 'Mac' McAuley, an affiliated lecturer at Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge and founding member of the Microsoft and Marconi research labs in Cambridge.
Intel Research Cambridge is initially focusing on the challenges of delivering the capabilities of new communications and networking technologies to applications developers.
This will include fundamental networking research, from mathematical modeling of network traffic to emerging technologies such as optical switching.
The Cambridge lab joins three other Intel labs at Universities in Seattle, Berkley and Pittsburgh to make up the Intel Research Network.
Elsewhere in Europe, Intel Labs Barcelona located at the University Politecnica de Catalunya campus is focused on proprietary research and development in the area of microprocessors.
Additionally, Intel's Labs in Russia are working to build a world class Intel R and D operation with both technology research and product development capabilities.
Spread between Moscow, Sarov and Nizhny Novgorod, Intel R and D has an operation of over 200 employees and contractors all working as a linked entity.
