As many global brands jump on the supposed “next big thing,” the metaverse, Intel (NASDAQ:) has finally shared its strategy for entering into the metaverse.

Executives of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer have revealed that the company is working on software that will allow users to pool computing power from other devices, including those from its rivals.

A Reuters report claims that the company is developing a software system to allow the pooling of computing resources based on usage needs. Raja Koduri, head of Intel’s graphics and accelerated computing groups, stated that, despite advances in computation power, current systems do not meet the needs.

One fundamental truth we all knew was that the computing infrastructure required to create what we saw in Snow Crash or Ready Player One is 1,000 times greater than the current one.

Intel thinks that the fastest-rising metaverse trend requires a lot more computing power. Intel considers its first entry point to be taking advantage existing computing power. Koduri explained:

To render an accurate photo of you or your environment, you will need all the computing power you have. That means that your PCs, your phones, your edge networks, your cell stations that have some compute, and your cloud computing needs to be kind of working in conjunction like an orchestra—between all of these three elements that deliver that kind of beautiful metaverse. It’ll take time.

Koduri further states that software can be used with hardware made by its competitors, provided they conform to industry standards.
