Intel announces winners of “Inside Matters” contest

Intel Malaysia recently organized a blogging competition themed “Inside Matters”. Opened to selected bloggers that Intel have engaged previously and branded as Intel Insiders, these bloggers were invited to submit their creative or technical interpretation of why or how ‘inside matters”. The contest theme was chosen to highlight the importance of what is inside – be it inside a person, food or any other element that matters.

“We wanted to use the theme to bring up the fact that the processor inside a computer matters and plays a significant role in the computing power of a PC. While the exterior of a computer may be big or small, heavy or light, it is ultimately the processor inside each computer that determines the power of the machine. Once consumers have decided to buy a PC, we recommend that it is Intel inside,” said Norhizam Kadir, marketing manager of Intel Malaysia.
The resulting blog posts from Intel Insiders demonstrated their creativity and imagination, and Intel was visibly impressed with the variety of entries they received.

“It was tough selecting one single winner, so we decided to give runners-up prizes to two other deserving Intel Insiders,” added Norhizam.

The winner for the contest, Chan Wern Shen, walked away with a netbook powered by Intel® Atom™ processor. “It doesn’t always matter how flashy your computer looks, nor does it matter how much it costs. It’s the things that are inside that matters - both in your machine, and in your expectations,” Chan blogs.

The runners-up who received an iPod shuffle each were:
(i) Song Huei Juin, who blogged about her significant other’s gentle and shy character despite his exterior serious look. “While he looks tough on the exterior, he’s actually one soft person. So before you decide to judge a book by its cover next time, flip a page; you’ll be surprised by how great the inside is.”
(ii) Sean Soon who recounted his nasi lemak experience. “Yes, indeed inside matters. Who knew that a small packet of nasi lemak could taste so good? Though the packet was oily, sluggish and looked as though it had very little content, unexpectedly you tasted heaven in that one small packet. It’s not what is on the outside, but what is inside that matters most!”
