The Puma Phone has three home screens that display apps in a simple grid design. Pictured here is the menu for the various sporting apps like the GPS trackers for running and biking (top row), the compass (middle left), and the stopwatch (bottom right).

The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade.
