Intel President James on wearable tech, Microsoft partnership |
September 11, 2013
After calculators, PCs and mobile phones, Intel is now jumping into wearable devices with an extremely low-power chip called Quark, which was big news at the company's annual Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Leading the charge into the new market is Intel's new leadership team consisting of CEO Brian Krzanich and President Renee James, who also articulated on plans to achieve fast growth in the mobile market while trying to reinvigorate PC sales.It's been an especially busy few months for James, who became Intel's president on May 2 after running the company's software unit as executive vice president and general manager of the software and services group. She is laying the groundwork for Quark chips to succeed in areas such as eye wear, personalized medicine and cloud services. In an interview with the IDG News Service, she talked about the wearable market, Quark and partner relationships.IDGNS: Where do you see the wearable market going?James: I think it's way beyond wearables, I think it's about integrated computing. I don't think we know the boundaries of that. The silicon patch -- the thought of just ripping something off like a band-aid, putting it on your arm, your doctor being able to know what your vitals are at that moment, that sounds like science fiction, but it's real. That's where we are at. That's today's outer boundary of where we are going with computing.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
