Intel at its Innovation 2022 event launched a variety of products including their 13th Gen Core processors alongside new Xeon chips or Arc GPUs. Now, it also launched something called Intel Unison, you might get confused, what is it actually?
Well, thanks to the acquisition of Screenovate showcased at CES 2022, Intel is introducing Intel® Unison™, a software solution that seamlessly connects your PC and devices for a universal, easy-to-use experience across operating systems.
This means Intel-powered systems will have the capability to seamlessly connect to multiple devices of yours so that you get updated with everything that happens around you.

Intel Unison will launch on select Intel® Evo™ laptops based on 12th Gen Intel Core processors from Acer, HP and Lenovo this year, and will scale to 13th Gen Intel Core-based designs starting early in 2023. Intel Unison will continue to evolve with additional form factors, functionality and operating systems in the future.
